The genome was sequenced for a monokaryon strain of Pleurotus eryngii.
Combined Illumina and long-reads Pacbio datasets analyses gave an improved genome assembly.
The number of CAZymes determined in the genome of P. eryngii 183 was the highest than that in other fungi.
The number of oxidoreductases for lignin degradation was much higher (41 copies) than other saprophytic fungi.
The CAZymes and oxidoreductases in P. eryngii 183 brightened the mechanisms of bioconversion of cellulose and lignin in this fungus and increased the diversity of the enzymes related to degradation of lignocellulose.
