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 …

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 …

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 …

The production of amylolytic enzymes in Aspergillus oryzae is induced in the presence of
starch or maltose, and two Zn 2 Cys 6-type transcription factors, AmyR and MalR, are …

Aspergillus oryzae has two glucoamylase-encoding genes, glaA and glaB, the patterns of
expression of which are different. Expression of the glaB gene is marked in solid-state …

Aspergillus oryzae strains express α-amylases abundantly, and the genome reference strain
RIB40 has three α-amylase genes (amyA, amyB, and amyC). However, there is no …

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae, also known as yellow koji mold, produces high
levels of hydrolases such as amylolytic and proteolytic enzymes. This property of producing …

Aspergillus oryzae RIB40 has three α-amylase genes (amyA, amyB, and amyC), and
secretes α-amylase abundantly. However, large amounts of endogenous secretory proteins …

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 …

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 …
