Abstract
Despite the important role played by soil-inhabiting ascomycetes in plant litter decay processes, studies on diversity and function of their laccase-like multicopper oxidase (LMCO) genes are scarce. In the present work, the LMCO gene diversity in 15 strains representing nine Morchellaceae and one Discinaceae species was evaluated by PCR. One to six different genes were found within the species, representing 26 different sequence types. Cluster analysis revealed LMCO genes belonging to four main gene families encoding different protein classes (Class I to IV). To identify the genes related to extracellular activities and potentially involved in litter decay processes, liquid cultures were induced by different aromatic compounds. Morchella conica and Verpa conica showed the strongest LMCO activity enhancement in presence of the naturally occurring phenolic compound guaiacol and their expressed LMCO genes were identified by sequencing. Only genes belonging to the gene families encoding the protein Classes II and III were expressed. Both genes (Class II & III) of the mycorrhizal-like strain M. conica were exclusively expressed in presence of guaiacol. In contrast to the saprotrophic strain V. conica, the gene encoding the Class III protein was constitutively expressed as it was also found in control cultures without guaiacol.
