Effects of microbial fermentation on enzyme activity and volatile properties of Massa Medicata Fermentata

Traditional &Kampo Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 10-17, April 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Aim Massa Medicata Fementata (MMF) is a crude drug used in East Asia to treat anorexia and dyspepsia. It is prepared from wheat and several herbs through microbial fermentation using Aspergillus sp. and Rhizopus sp. There is great difference in the quality of commercial MMF, and the microbes of MMF are suggested to affect its quality.

Insights regarding sirtuin-dependent gene regulation during white koji production

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2022
White koji, a solid-state culture of Aspergillus luchuensis mut. kawachii using grains such as rice and barley, is used as a source of amylolytic enzymes and citric acid for the production of shochu, a traditional Japanese distilled spirit. We previously

A CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene knockout system inAspergillus luchuensismut.kawachii

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2020
AbstractWe developed an approach to genome editing of the white koji fungus, Aspergillus luchuensis mut. kawachii using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 system. Co-transformation of AMA1-based Cas9 and gRNA expression plasmids achieved efficient gene knockout in A. kawachii.

Construction of transcription factor gene deletion library of Aspergillus luchuensis.

The Journal of general and applied microbiology, 2021
We selected 96 genes of Aspergillus luchuensis for the construction of a transcription factor gene deletion library. Of these, we successfully deleted 93 genes using Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (AMT) of A. luchuensis RIB 2604 ΔligD strains.

Development of an itraconazole resistance gene as a dominant selectable marker for transformation in Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus luchuensis

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2021
ABSTRACT There are only a few combinations of antifungal drugs with known resistance marker genes in the Aspergillus species; therefore, the transformation of their wild-type strains is limited. In this study, to develop the novel dominant selectable marker for itraconazole, a fungal cell membrane synthesis inhibitor, we focused on ...
