The amino acid sequence of the mheA gene of Aspergillus oryzae encodes a putative metallothionein-like protein 1. The size of the mheA transcript was 497 nt and the mheA promoter was induced by glucose, consistent with results of analysis by Northern hybridization and with the pdcA promoter, respectively.

Gut Pathog

January 2025

Department of Gastroenterology, Jiading Branch of Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, 800 Huangjiahuayuan Road, Shanghai, 201803, China.

Objective: The gut is involved in the development of acute pancreatitis (AP). Increased focus is being given to the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of AP. Nevertheless, there is currently no available evidence regarding the composition of fungal microorganisms in the intestines of patients with AP.

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.

Key Laboratory of Natural Microbial Medicine Research of Jiangxi Province, College of Life Sciences, Jiangxi Science & Technology Normal University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, 330013, China.

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.

Shandong Key Laboratory for Green Prevention and Control of Agricultural Pests, Institute of Plant Protection, Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Jinan 250100, China.

Fungi play an increasingly important role in the biological control of insect pests. XJ1 is highly virulent to locust adults and nymphs, which are a destructive economic pest worldwide. Because of its host association with locusts, which is unique in , in this study, we examined the genetic relationships of XJ1 within .

The filamentous fungus (anamorph ) has been shown to be an efficient producer of secreted cellulases, used in biorefinery processes. Understanding the mechanisms of regulation of cellulase gene expression in the fungus is a current task in industrial biotechnology, since it allows for targeted changes in the composition of the complex secreted by the fungus. Expression of cellulase genes in fungi is regulated mainly at the level of transcription via pathway-specific transcription factors (TF), the majority of which belong to the Zn(II)2Cys6 family of zinc binuclear cluster proteins.
