Novel presumed HGTs with a potential contribution to nematode infection are also detected in M. graminicola for the first time: (a) Firstly, M. graminicola has a candidate GH25 lysozyme likely acquired by HGT and this enzyme could participate in cell division and cell‐wall remodeling in bacteria (Vollmer, Joris, Charlier, & Foster, 2008) and bacteriophages (Fastrez, 1996). The gene discussed is LYZ; the disease is Nematoda infectious disease.
