  1. aMain substrates for the respective enzyme families. bNumber of all enzymes that can act on ß-glucan as a substrate. Taxonomy abbreviations: S, Sordariomycetes; E, Eurotiomycetes; P, Pezizomycetes; S, Saccharomycetes; SS, Schizosaccharomycetes; A, Agaricomycetes. The bold numbers indicate glycosyl hydrolase (GH) families that have a statistically significant expansion in Trichoderma (P < 0.05) or Ta and Tv (GH18). This support was obtained only when N. haematococca and T. melanosporum were not included in the analysis of GH18 and GH81, respectively.
