Enzymes from filamentous fungi are already widely exploited, but new applications for
known enzymes and new enzymic activities continue to be found. In addition, enzymes from …

Filamentous fungi are metabolically versatile organisms with a very wide distribution in
nature. They exist in association with other species, eg as lichens or mycorrhiza, as …

A gene, designated amyR, coding for a transcriptional activator involved in amylolytic gene
expression has been cloned from Aspergillus oryzae by screening for a clone that enabled …

The role of the conserved sequence region III in the promoter regions of the amylase-
encoding genes amyB, glaA and agdA of Aspergillus oryzae was examined. Introduction of …

Aspergillus oryzae has two glucoamylase-encoding genes, glaA and glaB, whose
expressions are distinguished by the type of culture used. The glaB gene is markedly …

The nucleotide sequence of a 1.5-kb fragment of the promoter region of the Aspergillus
oryzae agdA gene encoding α-glucosidase was determined. A comparison with the …

Hap complex is suggested to enhance transcription by remodeling the chromatin structure.
The regulation of gene expression in filamentous fungi of industrial interest could follow …

Sake, the Japanese rice wine, contains a variety of oligosaccharides and glucosides
produced by fungal enzymes during the brewing process. This study investigates the effect …

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 …

抄録 Phospholipase A 1 (PLA 1) is a hydrolytic enzyme that catalyzes the removal of the acyl
group from position 1 of lecithin to form lysolecithin. The PLA 1 gene, which had been …
