Mucor circinelloides induces platelet aggregation through integrin αIIbβ3 and FcγRIIA [PDF]
Platelets, 2019 Thrombosis is a hallmark of the fatal fungal infection mucormycosis. Yet, the platelet activation pathway in response to mucormycetes is unknown. In this study we determined the platelet aggregation potential of Mucor circinelloides (M.

Heterologous expression of astaxanthin biosynthesis genes in Mucor circinelloides
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2005 Most Mucor species accumulate beta-carotene as the main carotenoid. The crtW and crtZ astaxanthin biosynthesis genes from Agrobacterium aurantiacum were placed under the control of Mucor circinelloides expression signals. Expression vectors containing the bacterial genes were constructed, and PEG-mediated transformations were performed on a selected M.

Characterisation of the Mucor circinelloides regulated promoter gpd1P
Current Genetics, 2004 The promoter of the Mucor circinelloides gpd1 gene encoding glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gpd1P) was recently cloned and used for the production of recombinant proteins, such as the Aspergillus niger glucose oxidase 1 (GOX). This represents the first example of the application of a strong and regulated promoter from this fungus for ...
