Abstract: The first full-length cDNA library for lichenized fungi was constructed from cultured mycobiont of the arid desert lichen Endocarpon pusillum. Based on small-scale sequencing results, 111 genes of the lichenized fungi were identified for the first time, among which 11 genes shared no homology with any known fungal genes. Real-time PCR showed that the size of the mycobiont genome is 39. 13 Mb and the copy number of ribosomal RNA gene repeat units is 43. The results of this study will be valuable for the ongoing lichen genome-sequencing project and the large-scale identification of functional genes from lichenized fungi. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
