Biocontrol Potential of Rhizosphere Fungi Against Pyricularia Oryzae in Ciherang Rice Variety [PDF]
Blast disease is an important disease of rice caused by Pyricularia oryzae. The use of antagonistic fungi from the rhizosphere of rice plants has the potential to control plant pathogens. One of them is from the genus Aspergillus.

Ergothioneine production with Aspergillus oryzae [PDF]
ABSTRACT To establish a reliable and practical ergothioneine (ERG) supply, we employed fermentative ERG production using Aspergillus oryzae, a fungus used for food production. We heterologously overexpressed the egt-1 and -2 genes of Neurospora crassa in A.

Lipase catalysed kinetic resolution of racemic 1,2-diols containing a chiral quaternary center [PDF]
Optically active 1,2-diols are valuable buildings blocks in organic synthesis. In the present paper, a set of racemic 1,2-diols with an ester functional group are prepared, starting from -ketoesters in a three-step procedure with moderate yields.

Strategy for the identification of micro-organisms producing food and feed products : bacteria producing food enzymes as study case [PDF]
Recent European regulations require safety assessments of food enzymes (FE) before their commercialization. FE are mainly produced by micro-organisms, whose viable strains nor associated DNA can be present in the final products.
