Aspergillus niger has become one of the most important hosts for food enzyme production
due to its unique food safety characteristics and excellent protein secretion systems. A series …

The genus Aspergillus represents a diverse group of fungi that are among the most
abundant fungi in the world. Germination of a spore can lead to a vegetative mycelium that …

Wood-degrading brown rot fungi are essential recyclers of plant biomass in forest
ecosystems. Their efficient cellulolytic systems, which have potential biotechnological …

The current animal-based production of protein-rich foods is unsustainable, especially in
light of continued population growth. New alternative proteinaceous foods are therefore …

Background Filamentous fungi are confronted with changes and limitations of their carbon
source during growth in their natural habitats and during industrial applications. To survive …

Fruiting body formation in the basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus is a developmental process
that occurs as a response of the mycelium to external stimuli. First, localized, highly …

A glucoamylase:: green fluorescent protein fusion (GLA:: sGFP) was constructed which
allows the green fluorescent protein to be used as an in vivo reporter of protein secretion in …

Fungal mycelia are exposed to heterogenic substrates. The substrate in the central part of
the colony has been (partly) degraded, whereas it is still unexplored at the periphery of the …

Single cell profiling was performed to assess differences in RNA accumulation in
neighboring hyphae of the fungus Aspergillus niger. A protocol was developed to isolate …

Hyphae of higher fungi are compartmentalized by septa. These septa contain a central pore
that allows for inter‐compartmental and inter‐hyphal cytoplasmic streaming. The cytoplasm …
