Domestication of different varieties in the cheese-making fungus Geotrichum candidum by Bennetot, Bastien, Vernadet, Jean-Philippe, Perkins, Vincent, Hautefeuille, Sophie, Rodríguez de la Vega, Ricardo C., O’Donnell, Samuel, Snirc, Alodie, Grondin, Cécile, Lessard, Marie-Hélène, Peron, Anne-Claire, Labrie, Steve, Landaud, Sophie, Giraud, Tatiana, Ropars, Jeanne

“…Another of the cheese populations seemed to represent a more advanced stage of domestication, with stronger phenotypic differentiation from the wild clade, harboring much lower genetic diversity, and phenotypes more typical of cheese fungi, with denser and fluffier colonies and a greater ability of excluding cheese spoiler fungi. Cheese populations lacked two beta lactamase-like genes present in the wild clade, involved in xenobiotic clearance, and displayed higher contents of transposable elements, likely due to relaxed selection. …”
