Fungal cell walls are dynamic extracellular matrices that enable efficient adaptation to changing environments. While the cell wall compositions of yeasts, human, and plant pathogenic fungi have been studied to some extent, the cell walls of mycoparasites remain poorly characterized. Trichoderma species comprise a diverse group of soil fungi with different survival strategies and lifestyles. The comparative study of cell wall carbohydrate-active enzymes in 13 Trichoderma spp. revealed that the types of enzymes involved in chitin and chitosan metabolism are phylogenetically distant between mycoparasitic and saprotrophic species. Here, we compare the carbohydrate composition and function of the cell wall of a saprotrophic strain Trichoderma reesei with that of the mycoparasitic, biological control agent Trichoderma atroviride. Monosaccharide and glycosidic linkage analyses as well as dual in situ interaction assays showed that the cell wall polysaccharide composition is conserved between both species, except for the amounts of chitin detected. The results suggest that the observed accumulation of chitosan during mycoparasitism may prevent host recognition. Remarkably, Trichoderma atroviride undergoes dynamic cell wall adaptations during both vegetative development and mycoparasitism, which appears to be confirmed by an evolutionarily expanded group of specialized enzymes. Overall, our analyses support the notion that habitat specialization is reflected in cell wall architecture and that plastic chitin remodeling may confer an advantage to mycoparasites, ultimately enabling the successful invasion and parasitism of plant pathogens. This information may potentially be exploited for the control of crop diseases using biological agents.
