The genus Aspergillus represents a diverse group of fungi that are among the most
abundant fungi in the world. Germination of a spore can lead to a vegetative mycelium that …

The use of microorganisms in industry has enabled the (over) production of various
compounds (eg, primary and secondary metabolites, proteins and enzymes) that are …

Much remains to be learned about the biology of mushroom-forming fungi, which are an
important source of food, secondary metabolites and industrial enzymes. The wood …

Filamentous fungi colonize substrates by forming a mycelium. This network of hyphae can
be used as a bio-based material. Here, we assessed the impact of environmental growth …

Mushrooms represent the most conspicuous structures of fungi. Their development is being
studied in the model basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune. The genome of S. commune …

Woody plants convert the energy of the sun into lignocellulosic biomass, which is an
abundant substrate for bioenergy production. Fungi, especially wood decayers from the …

The basidiomycetous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides represents an excellent producer for
microbial lipids and carotenoids. However, further rational engineering of this …

Efficient gene deletion methods are essential for the high-throughput study of gene function.
Compared to most ascomycete model systems, gene deletion is more laborious in …

Mushrooms are the most conspicuous fungal structures. Transcription factors (TFs) Bri1 and
Hom1 of the model fungus Schizophyllum commune are involved in late stages of …

Blue light is necessary for initiation of mushroom formation in S chizophyllum commune. The
genome of this basidiomycete contains homologues of the blue light receptor genes wc‐1 …
