Diketopiperazines and 2H-pyran-2-ones with antioxidant activity from the rice fermented with Aspergillus luchuensis

Fitoterapia, 2018
Aspergillus luchuensis is widely used as a starter of saccharification in the koji industry, but no secondary metabolites have been reported from this fungus. Herein, we report the isolation and identification of four new diketopiperazine derivatives (1-4), one new methyl 4-(3-acetyl-2, 6-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-methoxybutanoate (5), and six known compounds

Ribonucleoprotein-based CRISPR/Cas9 genome co-editing in Aspergillus luchuensis mut. kawachii

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering
In this study, we established a ribonucleoprotein-based clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) genome co-editing method for the white koji fungus, Aspergillus luchuensis mut. kawachii. To introduce the single guide RNA-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complex into protoplast cells of A.

Adsorptive removal of aflatoxin B1 via spore protein from Aspergillus luchuensis YZ-1

Journal of Hazardous Materials
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most toxic mycotoxin commonly found in the environment. Finding efficient and environmentally friendly ways to remove AFB1 is critical. In this study, Aspergillus luchuensis YZ-1 demonstrated a potent ability to adsorb AFB1 for the first time, and the binding of AFB1 to YZ-1 is highly stable.

Pex16 is involved in peroxisome and Woronin body formation in the white koji fungus, Aspergillus luchuensis mut. kawachii

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2019
We characterized Pex16 in Aspergillus luchuensis mut. kawachii to examine the role of peroxisomes on citric acid production during the shochu-fermentation process. Rice koji made using a Δpex16 strain exhibited no significant change in citric acid accumulation but a 1.4-fold increase in formic acid production.

Development of an efficient gene-targeting system in Aspergillus luchuensis by deletion of the non-homologous end joining system

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2011
The industrial fungus Aspergillus luchuensis is used to produce a distilled spirit in Okinawa Island, Japan. Recently, the genome sequence of A. luchuensis RIB2604 (Aspergillus awamori NBRC 4314) was revealed and many functional genes are now expected to be analyzed.
