The genus Aspergillus covers a group of filamentous fungi that includes saprophytes, human and plant pathogens as well as species being exploited in biotechnology.
The Alternaria genomes database houses genome sequences, genome annotation and genome comparison data from 25 species, including saprophytes, necrotrophic plant pathogens and species associated with human diseases like allergic airway disorders (Table 1).
Longer (more complex) duplicated proteins are more likely to be retained because these proteins have a higher probability of generating new biological functions, as previously observed for several fungal species, including saprophytes and human pathogens [ 51].
Pseudomonas is a highly diverse genus within the Gamma-proteobacteria, comprising > 120 named species with a wide diversity of lifestyles, including saprophytes, plant, fungal and animal pathogens, and marine and soil organisms [ 47].
Most species of this genus, including the industrial cellulase producer T. reesei, are saprophytes that can degrade bio-polymeric substrates such as lignocelluloses.
This is a fine field for the development not only of staphylococci or other infection, but for saprophytes that produce odor in the dressings.
Because we are focusing on the principles the simulations do not explicitly include pathogens (such as viruses) or saprophytes (that break down dead material).
Various species of fungi have been identified on dead bats [12], [55], most of them likely being saprophytes that colonise bat carcasses post-mortem.
We have recently sequenced and annotated the genomes of 25 Alternaria spp. including but not limited to many necrotrophic plant pathogens such as A. brassicicola (a pathogen of Brassicaceous crops like cabbage and canola) and A. solani (a major pathogen of Solanaceous plants like potato and tomato), and several saprophytes that cause allergy in human such as A. alternata isolates.
The Leptospira genus is composed of 20 recognized species and includes strains that belong to the saprophyte, intermediate or pathogen groups [5].
