An Aspergillus niger (An) genomic library was constructed using the promoter-trap vector,
pLX2A, which contains a hygromycin B (Hy) phosphotransferase-encoding gene (hph) for …

We examined the role of the intracellular α-glucosidase gene malT, which is part of the
maltose-utilizing cluster (MAL cluster) together with malR and malP, in amylolytic gene …

Abstract cDNA and genomic DNA for two nearly identical genes, AmyI and AmyII, coding for
the enzyme Takaamylase A (TA-A) of the fungus Aspergillus oryzae have been cloned and …

AmyR is a Zn (II) 2Cys6 transcriptional activator that regulates expression of the amylolytic
genes in Aspergillus species. Subcellular localization studies of GFP-fused AmyR in A …

The koji mold Aspergillus oryzae has been used in traditional Japanese food and beverage
fermentation for over a thousand years. Amylolytic enzymes are important in sake …

The induction of α-amylase by starch has been studied in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus
oryzae. Low levels of α-amylase activity were found in both intracellular and extracellular …

Ci-Amylase (AAase)[EC 3.2. 1.1, Ci-I, 4-glucan-4-glucanohydrolase] and glucoamylase
(GAase)[EC 3.2. 1.3, Ci-I, 4; I, 6-glucan glucohydrolase] are widely used in industrial …

Aspergillus species are widely used for the production of useful enzymes. We found that
there exist three highly conserved sequences, designated Region I, II and III, in the promoter …

Aspergillus oryzae was grown in a minimal medium supplemented with nine different carbon
sources. α-Amylase formation was induced by starch and maltose. With glucose, no carbon …

The amdA gene is one of a number of transacting regulatory genes controlling expression of
the amdS gene in A. nidulans. A polypeptide of approximately 42,000 molecular weight has …
