Fungi are found in all natural and artificial biotopes and can use highly diverse carbon
sources. They play a major role in the global carbon cycle by decomposing plant biomass …

Aspergillus fumigatus is a saprophytic fungus commonly found in soil and compost piles. In
immunocompromised patients it takes on a sinister form as a potentially lethal opportunistic …

Aspergillus fumigatus is the most important airborne fungal pathogen causing life-
threatening infections in immunosuppressed patients. One of the important questions …

Sexual development is the classical parameter for the taxonomical classification of animals,
plants, and fungi. This is reflected in the nomenclature of numerous taxons of the fungal …

This study describes two novel regulators, GalX and GalR, that control d-galactose utilization
in Aspergillus nidulans. This system is unique for A. nidulans since no GalR homologs were …

Background Invasive aspergillosis is started after germination of Aspergillus fumigatus
conidia that are inhaled by susceptible individuals. Fungal hyphae can grow in the lung …

The biosynthesis of the β-lactam antibiotic penicillin in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus
nidulans is catalyzed by three enzymes that are encoded by the acvA, ipnA, and aatA genes …

Developmental biology, which deals with the various aspects of species-specific changes
during the lifetime of individuals, is central to the biological sciences and connects the …

We review aspects of the process of protein secretion by Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus
nidulans, based on analysis of their genome sequences. Where useful, we have taken a …

The hisB gene of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans encodes imidazole glycerol-
phosphate dehydratase (EC 4.2. 1.19), which catalyses the seventh enzymatic step in …
