Carbon Catabolite Repression (CCR) has fascinated scientists and researchers around the
globe for the past few decades. This important mechanism allows preferential utilization of …

Plant cell wall consists mainly of the large biopolymers cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and
pectin. These biopolymers are degraded by many microorganisms, in particular filamentous …

Research on regulation of cellulases and hemicellulases gene expression may be very
useful for increasing the production of these enzymes in their native producers. Mechanisms …

The complete nucleotide sequence derived from a genomic clone and two cDNA clones of
the creA gene of Aspergillus nidulans is presented. The gene contains no introns. The …

Many microorganisms prefer easily metabolizable carbon sources over alternative, less
readily metabolized carbon sources. One of the mechanisms to achieve this is repression of …

The most commonly used β-lactam antibiotics for the therapy of infectious diseases are
penicillin and cephalosporin. Penicillin is produced as an end product by some fungi, most …

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) is a process that selects the energetically most
favorable carbon source in an environment. CCR represses the use of less favorable carbon …

Flammulina velutipes is a fungus with health and medicinal benefits that has been used for
consumption and cultivation in East Asia. F. velutipes is also known to degrade …

Overproduction of microbial metabolites is related to developmental phases of
microorganisms. Inducers, effectors, inhibitors and various signal molecules play a role in …

The cre A gene from A. nidulans has been cloned by complementation of a non-revertable
mutant allele using a genomic library and marker rescue techniques. The rescued sequence …
