Identification of a novel forkhead transcription factor MtFKH1 for cellulase and xylanase gene expression in Myceliophthora thermophila (ATCC 42464).

Myceliophthora thermophila is a thermophilic fungus, known to produce industrially important enzymes in biorefineries. The mechanism underlying cellulase and xylanase expression in filamentous fungi is a complex regulatory network controlled by numerous transcription factors (TFs). These TFs in M.
