lacA coding for beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) was cloned from the genomic DNA of Aspergillus oryzae RIB40. There were 9 exons in lacA and the coding region of 3,015 bp encoded a protein of 1,005 aa with a deduced molecular mass of 109,898. A. oryzae lacA was highly homologous to fungal beta-gals, with the highest aa identity of 70.7% to A. niger lacA, and also showed significant identity to acid beta-gals belonging to family 35 glycosyl hydrolases. Approximately 10 copies of lacA under control of A. oryzae glaA promoter were integrated into the chromosome of A. oryzae M-2-3. The recombinant strain expressed more than 700-fold of the beta-gal activity as compared to the wild type strain under induction by maltose.

Creating new formulations of immobilized enzymes has been a major focus of modern biotechnology. In this study, the industrially significant β-galactosidase was immobilized by being trapped in a polyvinyl alcohol and carboxymethyl cellulose (PVA-CMC) gel. The immobilized enzyme was optimized and characterized, and the results were compared with those obtained using free enzymes.

Aspergillus oryzae is a widely used host for heterologous expression of fungal natural products. However, the vectors previously developed are not convenient for use and screening positive transformants by PCR and fermentation is time- and effort-consuming. Hence, three plug-and-play vectors were developed here for multi-gene expression and liquid chromatography mass spectrometry detection was introduced to screen positive transformants.

Background: In the soy sauce fermentation industry, Aspergillus oryzae (A. oryzae) plays an essential role and is frequently subjected to high salinity levels, which pose a significant osmotic stress. This environmental challenge necessitates the activation of stress response mechanisms within the fungus.

The increasing demand for sustainable alternatives to conventional antifungal agents has prompted extensive research into the antifungal properties of plant essential oils (EOs). This study investigates the use of EOs mixture (Origanum vulgare, Moringa oleifera, and Cinnamomum verum) for controlling fungal deterioration in wall paintings at the archaeological Youssef Kamal Palace in Nag Hammadi, Egypt. Fungal isolates were collected from deteriorated wall paintings and identified using phenotypic and genotypic analyses.

The microbial community of a soy sauce is one of the most important factors in determining the sensory characteristics of that soy sauce. In this study, the microbial communities and sensory characteristics of twenty samples of Korean soy sauce () were investigated using shotgun metagenome sequencing and descriptive sensory analysis, and their correlations were explored by partial least square (PLS) regression analysis. The metagenome analysis identified 1332 species of bacteria, yeasts, molds, and viruses across 278 genera, of which , , and accounted for more than 80% of the total community.
