The regulatory and transcriptional landscape associated with carbon utilization in a filamentous fungus. [PDF]
Filamentous fungi, such as Neurospora crassa, are very efficient in deconstructing plant biomass by the secretion of an arsenal of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes, by remodeling metabolism to accommodate production of secreted enzymes, and by enabling ...

Pitch Control of Recycled Whitewater from Papermaking by Aspergillus oryzae
Whole cells of Aspergillus oryzae 35 were used as a biocatalyst for the degradation of glycerol trioleate, which largely contributes to pitch deposits in papermaking. Different types of inducers in culture media showed various effects on both the biomass
