The formation of mitotically derived spores, called conidia, is a common reproductive mode
in filamentous fungi, particularly among the large fungal class Ascomycetes. Asexual …

The initial focus of recombinant protein production by filamentous fungi related to exploiting
the extraordinary extracellular enzyme synthesis and secretion machinery of industrial …

Sterigmatocystin (ST) and the aflatoxins (AFs), related fungal secondary metabolites, are
among the most toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic natural products known. The ST …

The construction of mutant fungal strains is often limited by the poor efficiency of
homologous recombination in these organisms. Higher recombination efficiencies can be …

NADPH oxidases (Nox) have been characterized as higher eukaryotic enzymes used
deliberately to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). The recent discovery of new …

flbA encodes an Aspergillus nidulans RGS (regulator of G protein signaling) domain protein
that is required for control of mycelial proliferation and activation of asexual sporulation. We …

Nuclear migration plays an important role in the growth and development of many
organisms including the multinuclear fungus Aspergillus nidulans. We have identified four …

Trehalose is a non-reducing disaccharide found at high concentrations in Aspergillus
nidulans conidia and rapidly degraded upon induction of conidial germination. Furthermore …

Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis: A Practical Guide is the first laboratory manual to describe
the theory and practice of this technique. Based on the authors' experience developing …

The examination of fungal chromosomes by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis has revealed
that length polymorphism is widespread in both sexual and asexual species. This review …
