Regulators of plant biomass degradation in ascomycetous fungi

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels, 2017
Fungi play a major role in the global carbon cycle because of their ability to utilize plant biomass (polysaccharides, proteins, and lignin) as carbon source.

Blocking utilization of major plant biomass polysaccharides leads Aspergillus niger towards utilization of minor components

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, 2021
Summary Fungi produce a wide range of enzymes that allow them to grow on diverse plant biomass. Wheat bran is a low‐cost substrate with high potential for biotechnological applications.

Deletion of either the regulatory gene ara1 or metabolic gene xki1 in Trichoderma reesei leads to increased CAZyme gene expression on crude plant biomass

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels, 2019
Background Trichoderma reesei is one of the major producers of enzymes for the conversion of plant biomass to sustainable fuels and chemicals. Crude plant biomass can induce the production of CAZymes in T.

Strategies for the Development of Industrial Fungal Producing Strains

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2023
The use of microorganisms in industry has enabled the (over)production of various compounds (e.g., primary and secondary metabolites, proteins and enzymes) that are relevant for the production of antibiotics, food, beverages, cosmetics, chemicals and ...

Fungal hemolysins [PDF]

open access: yesMedical Mycology, 2013
Hemolysins are a class of proteins defined by their ability to lyse red cells but have been described to exhibit pleiotropic functions. These proteins have been extensively studied in bacteria and more recently in fungi. Within the last decade, a number of studies have characterized fungal hemolysins and revealed a fascinating yet diverse group of ...

Fungal vaccines

open access: yesBritish Journal of Biomedical Science, 2021
Invasive fungal disease continues to be a cause of significant life-threatening morbidity and mortality in humans, particularly in those with a diminished immune system, such as with haematological malignancies. The mainstay of treating such life-threatening fungal infection has been antifungal drugs, including azoles, echinocandins and macrocyclic ...

Cinnamic Acid and Sorbic acid Conversion Are Mediated by the Same Transcriptional Regulator in Aspergillus niger

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2019
Cinnamic acid is an aromatic compound commonly found in plants and functions as a central intermediate in lignin synthesis. Filamentous fungi are able to degrade cinnamic acid through multiple metabolic pathways.

CreA-mediated repression of gene expression occurs at low monosaccharide levels during fungal plant biomass conversion in a time and substrate dependent manner

open access: yesThe Cell Surface, 2021
Carbon catabolite repression enables fungi to utilize the most favourable carbon source in the environment, and is mediated by a key regulator, CreA, in most fungi.

Diversity and toxigenicity of fungi and description of Fusarium madaense sp. nov. from cereals, legumes and soils in north-central Nigeria [PDF]

open access: yesMycoKeys, 2020
Mycological investigation of various foods (mainly cowpea, groundnut, maize, rice, sorghum) and agricultural soils from two states in north-central Nigeria (Nasarawa and Niger), was conducted in order to understand the role of filamentous fungi in food ...
