Microsatellites, or tandem simple sequence repeats (SSR), are abundant across genomes
and show high levels of polymorphism. SSR genetic and evolutionary mechanisms remain …

Microsatellites represent codominant molecular genetic markers, which are ubiquitously
distributed within genomes. Due to their high level of polymorphism, relatively small size and …

Filamentous fungi have long been used for production of a range of valuable products; with
the advent of molecular biology, it became apparent that these fungi possess considerable …

The akuA gene encoding the Ku70 component of the nonhomologous end-joining
machinery was deleted in the opportunistic pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus. No obvious …

Filamentous fungus Penicillium oxalicum produces diverse lignocellulolytic enzymes, which
are regulated by the combinations of many transcription factors. Here, a single-gene …

This book is about the contribution to evolutionary theory and agricultural technology of one
of humankind's most dramatic imitations of the evolu tionary process, namely crop …

Phytases catalyse the hydrolysis of phytate (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate) to myo-inositol
and inorganic phosphate. In this study genes encoding novel phytases from two different …

Filamentous fungi produce a variety of secondary metabolites of diverse beneficial and
detrimental activities to humankind. The genes required for a given secondary metabolite …
