Filamentous microorganisms are used as molecular factories in industrial biotechnology. In
2007, a new approach to improve productivity in submerged cultivation was introduced …

Cellulose is the utmost plenteous source of biopolymer in our earth, and fungi are the most
efficient and ubiquitous organism in degrading the cellulosic biomass by synthesizing …

In this study, the effect of polyethylene glycol 8000 (PEG8000) stress on cellulase
biosynthesis in Trichoderma reesei CICC2626 via calcium signaling was investigated, and a …

The calcineurin-CRZ1 signaling pathway is conserved from yeasts to humans, and is
involved in survival, tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress conditions, virulence, and drug …

Calcium signaling through calcineurin and its major transcription factor (TF), CrzA, is integral
to hyphal growth, stress response and virulence of the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus …

The life cycle of filamentous fungi generally comprises hyphal growth and asexual
reproduction. Both growth and propagation processes are critical for invasion growth, spore …

Monilinia laxa is a necrotrophic plant pathogen able to infect and produce substantial losses
on stone fruit. Three different isolates of M. laxa were characterized according to their …

Roles of functional genes in secondary metabolism of mushroom-forming basidiomycetes
are rarely clarified due to the difficulty of gene knock-out in them. In Ganoderma lucidum, an …

The calcineurin pathway is an important signaling cascade for growth, sexual development,
stress response, and pathogenicity in fungi. In this study, we investigated the function of …

Aflatoxins produced by Aspergillus flavus, a group of filamentous fungi widely distributed in
nature as foodborne pathogens, are a major threat to food safety. It is thus clear that …
