Microbial transformation of artemisinin by Aspergillus terreus
Background Artemisinin (1) and its derivatives are now being widely used as antimalarial drugs, and they also exhibited good antitumor activities. So there has been much interest in the structural modification of artemisinin and its derivatives because ...

Biodegradation of Gossypol by Aspergillus terreus-YJ01. [PDF]
Gossypol, generally found in the roots, stems, leaves, and, especially, the seeds of cotton plants, is highly toxic to animals and humans, which inhibits the use of cotton stalks as a feed resource. Here, a promising fungal strain for biodegrading gossypol was successfully isolated from the soil of cotton stalk piles in Xinjiang Province, China, and ...

Itaconate biosynthesis in Aspergillus terreus [PDF]
Itaconate biosynthesis was studied in intact cells of high-yield (RC4') and low-yield (CM85J) strains of the fungus Aspergillus terreus by methods (tracers, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and mass spectroscopy) that did not interfere with metabolism. Itaconate formation in RC4' required de novo protein biosynthesis.

Evaluation of catalase activity of clinical and environmental isolates of Aspergillus species
Background and Objectives: Catalases are a good scavenger of H2O2 which degrades hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. They are considered as a virulence factor that are present in both spores and hypha of fungi.

Production of l-DOPA byAspergillus terreus [PDF]
Production of L-DOPA by the activity of tyrosinase from a strain of Aspergillus terreus 104 was investigated. Effects of substrate (L-tyrosine) concentrations, its mode of feeding to the assay mixture and also the effects of L-ascorbic acid and other antioxidants on the production rate of L-DOPA were studied.
