Transformation with exogenous deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) now appears to be possible
with all fungal species, or at least all that can be grown in culture. This field of research is at …

AREA (NIT2) is a general transcription factor involved in derepression of numerous genes
responsible for nitrogen utilization in Gibberella fujikuroi and many other fungi. We have …

Aspergillus nidulans is an important experimental organism, and it is a model organism for
the genus Aspergillus that includes serious pathogens as well as commercially important …

Macrophages and neutrophils kill the airborne fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. The
dependency of this killing process on reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) has been strongly …

Penicillium aethiopicum produces two structurally interesting and biologically active
polyketides: the tetracycline-like viridicatumtoxin 1 and the classic antifungal agent …

Aspergillus fumigatus is an important pathogen of immunocompromised hosts, causing
pneumonia and invasive disseminated disease with high mortality. To determine the …

Aspergillus fumigatus is the most common and deadly pulmonary fungal infection
worldwide. In the lung, the fungus usually forms a dense colony of filaments embedded in a …

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 catabolism of fatty acids is important in the lifestyle of many fungi, including plant and
animal pathogens. This has been investigated in Aspergillus nidulans, which can grow on …

During the last 5 years, strain improvement by genetic engineering has been established as
a good alternative for traditional methods of strain improvement such as mutagenesis and …
