Journal ArticleDOI
A quantitative starch-iodine method for measuring alpha-amylase and glucoamylase activities.
TL;DR: Alpha-amylase (EC 3.1.2.1), which cleaves internal -1,4glycosidic linkages in starch to produce glucose, maltose, or dextrins, and glucoamylases (EC 4.2) are widely used in the industrial conversion of starch into sugars.
Journal ArticleDOI
OrfPredictor: predicting protein-coding regions in EST-derived sequences
TL;DR: OrfPredictor facilitates the annotation of EST-derived sequences, particularly, for large-scale EST projects, and predicts the coding regions based on the translation reading frames identified in BLASTX alignments.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative genomics and experimental study of the aspergilli genus is presented, which allows for the first time a genus-wide view of the biological diversity of the Aspergillus and in many, but not all, cases linked genome differences to phenotype.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed whole-genome sequencing of the Aspergillus niger wild-type strain (ATCC 1015) and produced a genome sequence of very high quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic fungi (phylum Neocallimastigomycota): advances in understanding their taxonomy, life cycle, ecology, role and biotechnological potential
Robert J. Gruninger,Anil Kumar Puniya,Tony M. Callaghan,Joan E. Edwards,Noha H. Youssef,Sumit Singh Dagar,Katerina Fliegerova,Gareth W. Griffith,Robert J. Forster,Adrian Tsang,Tim A. McAllister,Mostafa S. Elshahed +11 more
TL;DR: The move towards understanding of anaerobic fungi using -omics based (genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic) approaches is starting to yield valuable insights into the unique cellular processes, evolutionary history, metabolic capabilities and adaptations that exist within the Neocallimastigomycota.
