Exploitation of for the Heterologous Production of Cellulases and Hemicellulases [PDF]
Open Biotechnology Journal, 2008 Filamentous fungi of the group are native soil saprophytic fungi. Industrial strains of this group have been extensively used for the production of plant degrading enzymes for the food and beverage, animal feed and paper-and-pulp industries. Recombinant DNA technology allows for the overproduction of these enzymes in copious amounts.

The VELVET A orthologue VEL1 of Trichoderma reesei regulates fungal development and is essential for cellulase gene expression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Trichoderma reesei is the industrial producer of cellulases and hemicellulases for biorefinery processes. Their expression is obligatorily dependent on the function of the protein methyltransferase LAE1. The Aspergillus nidulans orthologue of LAE1--LaeA--

CAZymes from the thermophilic fungus Thermoascus aurantiacus are induced by C5 and C6 sugars
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2021 Background Filamentous fungi are excellent lignocellulose degraders, which they achieve through producing carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes). CAZyme production is highly orchestrated and gene expression analysis has greatly expanded understanding of ...
