The synthesis of exoproteases and cephalosporin C in Acremonium chrysogenum is repressed by easily assimilated forms of nitrogen and carbon according to the type of nitrogen metabolism repression and catabolism inhibition. Glucose and ammonium salts inhibited the mycelium fragmentation and prevented formation of conidia. Amino acids had a diverse effect on the synthesis of the proteases and antibiotic. Methionine played the role of an inductor of the synthesis of alkaline exoproteases, cephalosporin C and the mycelium fragmentation into arthrospores.

From the 1950s to the present, the main tool for obtaining fungal industrial producers of secondary metabolites remains the so-called classical strain improvement (CSI) methods associated with multi-round random mutagenesis and screening for the level of target products. As a result of the application of such techniques, the yield of target secondary metabolites in high-yielding (HY) strains was increased hundreds of times compared to the wild-type (WT) parental strains. However, the events that occur at the molecular level during CSI programs are still unknown.

Cephalosporin C (CPC) is a critical raw material for cephalosporin antibiotics produced by Acremonium chrysogenum. During fermentation, the oxygen supply is a crucial factor limiting the efficient biosynthesis of CPC. This study demonstrated that the addition of exogenous surfactants significantly increased the dissolved oxygen (DO) level, extracellular catalase content, and final CPC titer.

Cephalosporins presently stand as the most extensively utilized antibiotic in clinical settings. Acremonium (A.) chrysogenum is the main strain used in the manufacturing of cephalosporin C (CPC), which offers distinct advantages, including a wide-ranging antibacterial spectrum and powerful antibacterial efficacy.

Sorbicillinoids are a class of fungal polyketides with diverse structures and distinguished bioactivities. Although remarkable progress has been achieved in their chemistry and biosynthesis, the efflux of sorbicillinoids is poorly understood. Here, we found MFS transporter AcsorT was responsible for the biosynthesis of sorbicillinoids in .
