Abstract
Editorial: The Significance of Mitogenomics in Mycology
Highlights
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Fungi and Their Interactions, a section of the journal Frontiers in Microbiology
Fungi contain mitochondria that are responsible for ATP synthesis and perform many biological tasks in fungal cells ranging from the production of chemical energy to synthesis of protein co-factors, and fatty acid, heme, and iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis
Most of our knowledge on mitochondrial function/dysfunction comes from studies on Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which shows a high tolerance to mutations inactivating oxidative phosphorylation and the loss of mtDNA (Malina et al, 2018)
Summary
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Fungi and Their Interactions, a section of the journal Frontiers in Microbiology. Besides coping with oxidative stress, fungal pathogenicity, virulence, and mycotoxin production have been linked to mitochondrial morphology, integrity (Tang et al, 2018) and dynamics (Neubauer et al, 2015), and fission and fusion of mitochondria (Verma et al, 2018) and their overall implication in a range of vital cellular functions appear to be the common denominators underlying these processes (Medina et al.).
