Discovery of a fungal Tc toxin complex and functional mycoserpin through a novel two-by-two comparative genomics approach [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionFungi have been a rich source of pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics, immunosuppressants, and cholesterol-lowering drugs; however, their therapeutic potential remains largely untapped due to difficulties in culturing and elucidating the ...

The Amylolytic Regulator AmyR of Aspergillus niger Is Involved in Sucrose and Inulin Utilization in a Culture-Condition-Dependent Manner

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2023
Filamentous fungi degrade complex plant material to its monomeric building blocks, which have many biotechnological applications. Transcription factors play a key role in plant biomass degradation, but little is known about their interactions in the ...

The diversity of fungal genome [PDF]

open access: yesBiological Procedures Online, 2015
The genome size of an organism varies from species to species. The C-value paradox enigma is a very complex puzzle with regards to vast diversity in genome sizes in eukaryotes. Here we reported the detailed genomic information of 172 fungal species among different fungal genomes and found that fungal genomes are very diverse in nature.

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.

The Sugar Metabolic Model of Aspergillus niger Can Only Be Reliably Transferred to Fungi of Its Phylum

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2022
Fungi play a critical role in the global carbon cycle by degrading plant polysaccharides to small sugars and metabolizing them as carbon and energy sources. We mapped the well-established sugar metabolic network of Aspergillus niger to five taxonomically

Revisiting a ‘simple’ fungal metabolic pathway reveals redundancy, complexity and diversity

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, 2021
Summary Next to d‐glucose, the pentoses l‐arabinose and d‐xylose are the main monosaccharide components of plant cell wall polysaccharides and are therefore of major importance in biotechnological applications that use plant biomass as a substrate ...

Transcriptome analysis of Aspergillus niger xlnR and xkiA mutants grown on corn Stover and soybean hulls reveals a highly complex regulatory network

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2019
Background Enzymatic plant biomass degradation by fungi is a highly complex process and one of the leading challenges in developing a biobased economy. Some industrial fungi (e.g.

GalR, GalX and AraR co‐regulate d‐galactose and l‐arabinose utilization in Aspergillus nidulans

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, 2022
Summary Filamentous fungi produce a wide variety of enzymes in order to efficiently degrade plant cell wall polysaccharides. The production of these enzymes is controlled by transcriptional regulators, which also control the catabolic pathways that ...
