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

TL;DR: This work describes how it has produced a consensus metabolic network reconstruction for S. cerevisiae, and places special emphasis on referencing molecules to persistent databases or using database-independent forms, such as SMILES or InChI strings, as this permits their chemical structure to be represented unambiguously and in a manner that permits automated reasoning.
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
