Production of L-asparaginase by filamentous fungi
L-asparaginase production was investigated in the filamentous fungi Aspergillus tamarii and Aspergillus terreus. The fungi were cultivated in medium containing different nitrogen sources. A. terreus showed the highest L-asparaginase (activity) production

Characterization and Optimization of Fungal L-Asparaginase Isolated From Soil and Medicinal Plants
L-asparaginase is a therapeutic enzyme that converts L-asparagine into ammonia and L-aspartate. L-asparaginase is used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. In food manufacturing industries, it is used to inhibit the acrylamide formation.

While the event‐free survival (EFS) of children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) has improved greatly in the last decades, the EFS for patients diagnosed with ALL before the age of one is still under 50%. This outcome further decreases when infants have a rearrangement in the gene encoding histone‐lysine N‐methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A ...

What's New? While the effectiveness of systemic anticancer therapy is well documented, it commonly causes severe toxicity. This study of the 467 systemic anticancer therapy agents currently approved globally for clinical and/or research purposes found that peripheral neurotoxicity is associated with 45% of classical chemotherapies, 21% of targeted ...
