Journal ArticleDOI

A versatile transformation system for the cellulolytic filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei

TL;DR: An efficient transformation system for the cellulolytic filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei has been developed and the efficiency of co-transformation with unselected DNA was high.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrophobins: the protein-amphiphiles of filamentous fungi.

TL;DR: The first high resolution three dimensional structure of a hydrophobin, HFBII from Trichoderma reesei, was recently solved and the properties of hydrophobins are analyzed in light of these new data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptional regulation of plant cell wall degradation by filamentous fungi

TL;DR: This review summarises the current knowledge on the transcriptional regulation, focusing on the recently characterized transcription factors that regulate genes coding for enzymes involved in the breakdown of plant cell wall biopolymers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Traffic Jams Reduce Hydrolytic Efficiency of Cellulase on Cellulose Surface

TL;DR: The real-time visualization of crystalline cellulose degradation by individual cellulase enzymes through use of an advanced version of high-speed atomic force microscopy is reported here.
