Thermophilic fungi have been seldom studied despite the fact that they can contribute to understanding ecological mechanisms of adaptation in diverse environments and have attractive toolboxes with a wide range of biotechnological applications. This work describes for the first time an endophytic and thermophilic strain of Aspergillus brasiliensis that was isolated in the crater of the active volcano “El Chichonal” in Mexico. This strain was capable of surviving in soil with a temperature of 60 °C and a pH of neutral acidity, which preluded a high thermostability and a potential in industrial application. The complete genome of A. brasiliensis E_15.1 was sequenced and assembled in 37 Mb of genomic DNA. We performed a comprehensive phylogenomic analysis for the precise taxonomic identification of this species as a novel strain of Aspergillus brasiliensis. Likewise, the predicted coding sequences were classified according to various functions including Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZymes), biosynthetic gene clusters of secondary metabolites (BGCs), and metabolic pathways associated with plant growth promotion. A. brasiliensis E_15.1 was found to degrade chitin, chitooligosaccharides, xylan, and cellulose. The genes to biosynthesize clavaric acid (a triterpene with antitumor activity) were found, thus probably having antitumor activity. In addition to the genomic analysis, a set of enzymatic assays confirmed the thermostability of extracellular xylanases and cellulases of A. brasiliensis E_15.1. The enzymatic repertoire of A. brasiliensis E_15.1 suggests that A. brasiliensis E_15.1 has a high potential for industrial application due to its thermostability and can promote plant growth at high temperatures. Finally, this strain constitutes an interesting source of terpenoids with pharmacological activity. |
