Journal ArticleDOI

Sequencing of Aspergillus nidulans and comparative analysis with A. fumigatus and A. oryzae

James E. Galagan, +50 more
- 22 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: The aspergilli comprise a diverse group of filamentous fungi spanning over 200 million years of evolution, and a comparative study with Aspergillus fumigatus and As pergillus oryzae, used in the production of sake, miso and soy sauce, provides new insight into eukaryotic genome evolution and gene regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequencing and analysis of the versatile cell factory Aspergillus niger CBS 513.88

Herman Jan Pel, +70 more
- 01 Feb 2007 - 
TL;DR: The filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger is widely exploited by the fermentation industry for the production of enzymes and organic acids, particularly citric acid, and the sequenced genome revealed a large number of major facilitator superfamily transporters and fungal zinc binuclear cluster transcription factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The regulatory gene areA mediating nitrogen metabolite repression in Aspergillus nidulans. Mutations affecting specificity of gene activation alter a loop residue of a putative zinc finger.

TL;DR: Results show that the regulatory gene areA mediating nitrogen metabolite repression in Aspergillus nidulans reverts to a partly reciprocal phenotype by replacing the mutant valine by methionine, and also identifies sequence changes associated with specificity mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

An ethanol inducible gene switch for plants used to manipulate carbon metabolism.

TL;DR: A chemically inducible plant gene expression system, with negligible background activity, that obviates the problem of marked phenotype appears in developing leaves that is absent from leaves that developed before induction or after it has ceased is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of the ethanol-inducible alc gene-expression system in Arabidopsis thaliana.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that alcR-mediated expression occurs throughout the plant in a highly responsive manner, and optimal strategies for utilizing the alc system in A. thaliana are described.
