  • The mycelia of Sparassis crispa DSMZ 5201 were cultivated at $24^{\circ}C$ for 15 days in yeast-malt extract-glucose broth (pH 4.0) and the filtrate was used as crude enzyme solution to determined the extracellular enzyme activity. The specific activity of $\alpha$-amylase was 44.27 unit/protein. The specific activities of protease, CMCase, $\beta$-glucosidase, chitinase, exo-$\beta$-l,4-glucanase were relatively high. However, a very little activity of xylanase was found.

  • Scopulariopsis brevicaulis is a widely distributed soil fungus known as a common saprotroph of biodegradation. It is also an opportunistic human pathogen that can produce various secondary metabolites. Here, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of S. brevicaulis isolated from air in South Korea. Total length of the mitochondrial genome is 28,829 bp and encoded 42 genes (15 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, and 25 tRNAs). Nucleotide sequence of coding region takes over 26.2%, and overall GC content is 27.6%. Phylogenetic trees present that S. brevicaulis is clustered with Lomentospora prolificans with presenting various mitochondrial genome length.
