Physiological and transcriptomic analyses revealed the change of main flavor substance of under salt treatment.

was a highly salt-tolerant yeast, playing an important role in soy sauce fermentation. Previous studies reported that under salt treatment produces better fermented food. However, the detailed change of main flavor substance was not clear.

Transcriptomic Responses of to Salt Treatment During Cordycepins Production.

Cordycepin is a major bioactive compound found in () that exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities. Hence, it is potentially a bioactive ingredient of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. However, overexploitation and low productivity of natural is a barrier to commercialization, which leads to insufficient supply to meet its existing market demands.

Effects of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Limitation on Fatty Acid Contents in .

, commonly known as koji mold, has been widely used for the large-scale production of food products (sake, makgeolli, and soy sauce) and can accumulate a high level of lipids. In the present study, we showed the dynamic changes in mycelium growth and conidia formation under nitrogen and phosphorus nutrient stress. The fatty acid profile of was determined and the content of unsaturated fatty acid was found increased under nitrogen and phosphorus limitation.

The GRAS gene family in watermelons: identification, characterization and expression analysis of different tissues and root-knot nematode infestations.

The family of GRAS plant-specific transcription factor plays diverse roles in numerous biological processes. Despite the identification and characterization of GRAS genes family in dozens of plant species, until now, GRAS members in watermelon () have not been investigated comprehensively. In this study, using bioinformatic analysis, we identified 37 GRAS genes in the watermelon genome (ClGRAS).

Genome-wide identification of the GATA transcription factor family and their expression patterns under temperature and salt stress in Aspergillus oryzae.

GATA transcription factors (TFs) are involved in the regulation of growth processes and various environmental stresses. Although GATA TFs involved in abiotic stress in plants and some fungi have been analyzed, information regarding GATA TFs in Aspergillus oryzae is extremely poor. In this study, we identified and functionally characterized seven GATA proteins from A.

Applications of CRISPR/Cas9 in the Synthesis of Secondary Metabolites in Filamentous Fungi.

Filamentous fungi possess the capacity to produce a wide array of secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities and structures, such as lovastatin and swainsonine. With the advent of the post-genomic era, increasing amounts of cryptic or uncharacterized secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters are continually being discovered. However, owing to the longstanding lack of versatile, comparatively simple, and highly efficient genetic manipulation techniques, the broader exploration of industrially important secondary metabolites has been hampered thus far.

Identification and Expression Analysis of Sugar Transporter Gene Family in .

Sugar transporter (SUT) genes are associated with multiple physiological and biochemical processes in filamentous fungi, such as the response to various stresses. However, limited systematic analysis and functional information of SUT gene family have been available on (). To investigate the potential roles of SUTs in , we performed an integrative analysis of the SUT gene family in this study.
