Abstract
Conclusions: A considerable expansion of the hydrophobin-encoding genes in basidiomycetes has been observed. The distribution and number of hydrophobin-encoding genes in the analyzed species may be connected to their ecological preferences. Results of our analysis also have shown that H. annosum s.l. hydrophobin-encoding genes may be under positive selection. Our gene expression analysis revealed differential expression of H. annosum s.s. hydrophobin genes under different growth conditions, indicating their possible functional diversification.
