Journal ArticleDOI

Transformation of Aspergillus based on the hygromycin B resistance marker from Escherichia coli.

TL;DR: A new, heterologous, dominant marker for selection of Aspergillus transformants is described, based on the Escherichia coli hygromycin B (HmB) phosphotransferase gene (hph), which confers HmB resistance to As pergillus species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Filamentous fungi as cell factories for heterologous protein production

TL;DR: This review of current practice reveals that molecular tools have enabled several new developments but it has been process development that has driven the final breakthrough to achieving commercially relevant quantities of protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative genomics reveals high biological diversity and specific adaptations in the industrially and medically important fungal genus Aspergillus

Ronald P. de Vries, +132 more
- 14 Feb 2017 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient production of secreted proteins by Aspergillus : progress, limitations and prospects

TL;DR: This review will focus on the use of filamentous fungi for the production of heterologous proteins, especially non-fungal, proteins and the effect of gene-fusion strategies will be reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional elements in the promoter region of the Aspergillus nidulans gpdA gene encoding glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

TL;DR: In this article, the Aspergillus nidulans gpdA gene was analyzed and the nucleotide (nt) sequence of a 1.3-kb region upstream from the ATG was determined.
