The MaCreA Gene Regulates Normal Conidiation and Microcycle Conidiation in Metarhizium acridum [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 As a C2H2 type zinc finger transcription factor, CreA is the key in Carbon Catabolism Repression (CCR) pathway, which negatively regulates the genes in carbon sources utilization. As conidiation in filamentous fungi is affected by nutritional conditions,
