Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)—isoleucine, leucine, and valine—are synthesized by
fungi. These amino acids are important components of proteins and secondary metabolites …

Aspergillus fumigatus is a ubiquitous soil decomposer and an opportunistic pathogen that is
characterized by its large metabolic machinery for acquiring nutrients from media. Lately, an …

Background Gene regulation underlies fungal physiology and therefore is a major factor in
fungal biodiversity. Analysis of genome sequences has revealed a large number of putative …

Efficient regulation of nitrogen metabolism likely plays a role in the ability of fungi to exploit
ecological niches. To learn about regulation of nitrogen metabolism in the rice blast …

Expression of several Aspergillus niger genes encoding major secreted, but not vacuolar,
protease genes including the major acid protease gene pepA, was shown to be affected in …

Both branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) and iron are essential nutrients for eukaryotic
cells. Previously, the Zn2Cys6-type transcription factor Leu3/LeuB was shown to play a …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate several aspects of cell physiology in filamentous
fungi including the antioxidant response and development. However, little is known about …

The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei is one of the most prolific cellulase producers
and has been established as a model microorganism for investigating mechanisms …

Fungi, bacteria, and plants, but not animals, synthesize the branched-chain amino acids:
leucine, isoleucine, and valine. While branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) biosynthesis has …

Peanuts are frequently infected by Aspergillus strains and then contaminated by aflatoxins
(AF), which brings out economic losses and health risks. AF production is affected by diverse …
