A circular denaturation and restriction map of mitochondrial DNA from Neurospora crassa is presented. The map shows the position of all twelve fragments produced by restriction endonuclease Eco R I and the position of the largest Hin III fragment along the previously established map of AT-rich sequences. The two wild type strains Em 5256 and 7A differ in the lengths of two Eco R I fragments. No difference was found between the mitochondrial mutant "poky" and its parent strain. The position of the DNA segment carrying the transcription unit for the two ribosomal RNA molecules has been determined by molecular hybridization.

Modulating the aroma and taste profile of soybean using novel strains for fermentation.

Curr Res Food Sci

A key factor influencing consumer acceptance of soybean products is the aroma and taste profile, which can be modulated through fermentation using unique microbial strains. This study aimed to identify and characterize novel microbial strains with the potential to enhance flavour profiles including umami, while reducing undesirable flavour notes such as beany aromas. The results showed an 800% (8-fold) increase in free amino acids in samples fermented with , which correlated with an increase in umami intensity as measured using an E-tongue.

Background: Organization of the eukaryotic genome is essential for proper function, including gene expression. In metazoans, chromatin loops and Topologically Associated Domains (TADs) organize genes into transcription factories, while chromosomes occupy nuclear territories in which silent heterochromatin is compartmentalized at the nuclear periphery and active euchromatin localizes to the nucleus center. A similar hierarchical organization occurs in the fungus Neurospora crassa where its seven chromosomes form a Rabl conformation typified by heterochromatic centromeres and telomeres independently clustering at the nuclear membrane, while interspersed heterochromatic loci aggregate across Megabases of linear genomic distance to loop chromatin in TAD-like structures.

Antifungal resistance, particularly the rise of multidrug-resistance strains, poses a significant public health threat. In this study, the study identifies a novel multidrug-resistance gene, msp-8, encoding a helicase, through experimental evolution with Neurospora crassa as a model. Deletion of msp-8 conferred multidrug resistance in N.

The widespread use of azole antifungals in agriculture and clinical settings has led to serious drug resistance. Overexpression of the azole drug target 14α-demethylase ERG11 (CYP51) is the most common fungal resistance mechanism. However, the presence of additional regulatory proteins in the transcriptional response of is not yet fully elucidated.
