With the rapid development of synthetic biology, various kinds of microbial cell factories
(MCFs) have been successfully constructed to produce high-value-added compounds …

Basidiomycetes fungi of the family Ustilaginaceae are mainly known as plant pathogens
causing smut disease on crops and grasses. However, they are also natural producers of …

Mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs) are surface active glycolipids secreted by various fungi.
MELs can be used as biosurfactants and are a biodegradable resource for the production of …

Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles which participate in a variety of essential
biochemical pathways. An intimate interrelationship between peroxisomes and mitochondria …

Biosurfactants can replace fossil-driven surfactants with positive environmental impacts,
owing to their low eco-toxicity and high biodegradability. However, their large-scale …

Eukaryotic microorganisms use monocistronic mRNAs to encode proteins. For synthetic
biological approaches like metabolic engineering, precise co-expression of several proteins …

Wide ranges of microorganisms produce glycosylated lipids (GL), which are characterized
by their tensio-active properties. Therefore, they can be used in different industrial …

Mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs) are glycolipid biosurfactants produced by various yeasts.
Mmf1, a putative transporter of MELs, is conserved in the MEL biosynthesis gene clusters of …

Upon nitrogen starvation, the basidiomycete Ustilago maydis, which causes smut disease
on corn, secretes amphipathic glycolipids, including mannosylerythritol lipids (MELs). MELs …

Little is known about the roles of peroxisomes in the necrotrophic fungal plant pathogens. In
the present study, a Pex6 gene encoding an ATPase-associated protein was characterized …
