Aspergillus oryzae RIB40 niaD(-) was transformed using a plasmid constructed with the A. oryzae phytase gene and pNAN8142 vector. The culture broth of the transformant, which was grown in a medium containing starch as a carbon source and polyvinylpyrrolidone showed phytase activity of a maximum of 2.0 units ml(-1) at 37 degrees C, pH 5.5.

Research on enhancing the production of lipids, particularly polyunsaturated fatty acids that are considered important for health, has focused on improvement of metabolism as well as heterologous expression of biosynthetic genes in the oleaginous fungus . To date, the productivity and production yield of free fatty acids have been enhanced by 10-fold to 90-fold via improvements in metabolism and optimization of culture conditions. Moreover, the productivity of ester-type fatty acids present in triacylglycerols could be enhanced via metabolic improvement.

Kojic acid is a secondary metabolite with strong chelating and antioxidant properties produced by and . Although antioxidants and chelators are important virulence factors for plant pathogens, the ecological role of kojic acid remains unclear. We previously observed a greater gene expression of antioxidants, especially kojic acid, by non-aflatoxigenic when co-cultured with aflatoxigenic Aflatoxin production was also reduced.

Selenium (Se) is a trace element that is essential for health. Organic Se created by Se-enriched microorganisms has the characteristics of low toxicity, high bioavailability, and regulation of physiological functions. Here, the regulatory effect of Se-enriched Aspergillus oryzae A02 on the reproductive function of male mice and its potential molecular mechanism was studied.
