The biological degradation of cellulose

TL;DR: The study of cellulolytic enzymes at the molecular level has revealed some of the features that contribute to their activity and an increasing number of three-dimensional structures are becoming available for cellulases and xylanases belonging to different families, which will provide paradigms for molecular modeling of related enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI

A versatile toolkit for high throughput functional genomics with Trichoderma reesei

TL;DR: A construction kit for gene knock out in T. reesei and a primer database for gene deletion using the pyr4, amdS and hph selection markers are provided to boost research towards efficient exploitation of the resources of T.Reesei for cellulase expression and hence second generation biofuel production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biology and biotechnology of Trichoderma

TL;DR: This review aims to give a broad overview on the qualities and versatility of the best studied Trichoderma species and to highlight intriguing findings as well as promising applications.

Swollenin, a Trichoderma reesei protein with sequence similarity to the plant expansins, exhibits disruption activity on cellulosic materials

TL;DR: A novel gene with sequence similarity to plant expansins, isolated from the cellulolytic fungus Trichoderma reesei, is described, which has an N-terminal fungal type cellulose binding domain connected by a linker region to the expansin-like domain.

Transformation of Aspergillus nidulans by using a trpC plasmid.

TL;DR: A chimeric plasmid carrying a complete copy of the trifunctional trpC gene from the Ascomycete fungus Aspergillus nidulans is constructed and replicates in Escherichia coli, where it confers resistance to ampicillin and chloramphenicol and complementstrpC mutants lacking phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transformation by integration in Aspergillus nidulans.

TL;DR: DNA-mediated genetic transformation of Aspergillus nidulans has been achieved by incubating protoplasts from a strain of A. niduans carrying a deletion in the acetamidase structural gene with DNA of derivatives of plasmid pBR322 containing the cloned structural gene for acetamids.

Transformation of Aspergillus niger by the amdS gene of Aspergillus nidulans.

TL;DR: A transformation system is developed for Aspergillus niger using the amdS gene as a dominant heterologous marker for selecting transformants on the basis of acetamide utilization and it is shown that an unselected plasmid can be co‐transformed with the amdR/intA plasmids into A. niger.
