(Submitter supplied) Colonies of Aspergillus niger secrete proteins throughout the colony except for the sporulating zone. Inactivation of flbA results in colonies that are unable to reproduce asexually and that secrete proteins throughout the mycelium. In addition, the ΔflbA strain shows cell lysis and has thinner cell walls. This pleiotropic phenotype is associated with differential expression of 38 transcription factor genes. more...

(Submitter supplied) Aspergillus niger fulfills an important role in nature in nutrient cycling and is a main cell factory for the industrial production of metabolites and enzymes. Inactivation of flbA in A. niger results in thinner cell walls, increased cell lysis, abolished sporulation, and an increased secretome complexity. A total of 36 transcription factor genes are differentially expressed in ∆flbA. Here, seven of these genes (abaA, aslA, aslB, azf1, htfA, nosA, and srbA) were inactivated. more...

(Submitter supplied) The genes of the non-phosphorylative L-rhamnose catabolic pathway have been identified for several yeast species. In Pichia stipitis, all L-rhamnose pathway genes are organized in a cluster, which is conserved in Aspergillus niger, except for the lra-4 ortholog (lraD). The A. niger cluster also contains the gene encoding the L-rhamnose responsive transcription factor (RhaR) that has been shown to control the expression of genes involved in L-rhamnose release and catabolism. more...

(Submitter supplied) The industrially important fungus Aspergillus niger feeds naturally on decomposing plant material, for which it is equipped with a range of enzyme systems. A significant proportion of plant material are lipids that might be available either as for energy storage or as membrane building blocks. With 63 potential lipase-encoding genes in its genome, A. niger has the tools to degrade these extracellular lipids. more...

(Submitter supplied) Knowledge of the biological and technical variation for fermentor-grown Aspergillus niger cultures is needed to design DNA microarray experiments properly. We cultured A. niger in batch-operated fermentor vessels and induced with D-xylose. Transcript profiles were followed in detail by qPCR for 8 genes. A variance components analysis was performed on these data to determine the origin and magnitude of variation within each process step for this experiment. more...

(Submitter supplied) Galactose catabolism in Aspergillus nidulans is regulated by at least two regulators, GalR and GalX. In Aspergillus niger only GalX is present, and its role in D-galactose catabolism in this fungus was investigated. Phenotypic and gene expression analysis of a wild type and a galX disruptant revealed that GalX does not substitute for the absence of GalR in A. niger, it regulates the D-galactose oxido-reductive pathway, but not the Leloir pathway. more...

(Submitter supplied) Background: HacA/Xbp1 is a conserved bZIP transcription factor in eukaryotic cells which regulates gene expression in response to various forms of secretion stress and as part of secretory cell differentiation. In the present study, we replaced the endogenous hacA gene of an Aspergillus niger strain with a gene encoding a constitutively active form of the HacA transcription factor (HacACA). The impact of constitutive HacA activity during exponential growth was explored in bioreactor controlled cultures using transcriptomic analysis to identify affected genes and processes. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Aspergillus niger genome contains a large repertoire of genes encoding carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) that are targeted to plant polysaccharide degradation enabling A. niger to grow on a wide range of plant biomass substrates. Which genes need to be activated in certain environmental conditions depends on the composition of the available substrate. Previous studies have demonstrated the involvement of a number of transcriptional regulators in plant biomass degradation and have identified sets of target genes for each regulator. more...

(Submitter supplied) The genome of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger is rich in genes encoding pectinases, a broad class of enzymes that have been extensively studied due to their use in industrial applications. The sequencing of the A. niger genome provided more knowledge concerning the individual pectinolytic genes, but relatively little is still known about the regulatory genes involved in pectin degradation. more...

(Submitter supplied) Filamentous fungi are confronted with changes and limitations of their carbon source during growth in their natural habitats and during industrial applications. To survive life-threatening starvation conditions, carbon from extra- and intracellular resources becomes mobilized to fuel fungal self-propagation. Key to understand the underlying cellular processes is the system-wide analysis of fungal starvation responses in a temporal and spatial resolution. more...

Methods: Single deletion strains for TF1, TF2 and HD, respectively, (ii) a double deletion strain for TF1 and TF2, and (iii) individual conditional overexpression mutants for TF1, TF2 and HD using the Tet-on system were analysed. more...

(Submitter supplied) An Aspergillus niger colony can produce a few billion conidia. Formation of conidia producing conidiophores starts in the centre of the colony and moves outwards ending a few millimetres from the edge of the radial extending mycelium. As a result, the conidia within the colony centre are older than those in the intermediate and sub-peripheral zones. Here, it was assessed whether this results in heterogeneity of conidia within the colony. more...

(Submitter supplied) We identified the D-galacturonic acid (GA) responsive transcriptional activator GaaR of the saprotrophic fungus Aspergillus niger, which was found to be essential for growth on GA and polygalacturonic acid (PGA). Growth of the ΔgaaR strain was reduced on complex pectins. Genome-wide expression analysis showed that GaaR is required for the expression of genes necessary to release GA from PGA and more complex pectins, to transport GA into the cell and to induce the GA-catabolic pathway. more...

Here, we report the identification of the Tup1 (TupA) homolog in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger in a genetic screen for mutants with a constitutive expression of the agsA gene. The agsA gene encodes a putative alpha-glucan synthase, which is induced in response to cell wall stress in A niger. more...

(Submitter supplied) In the study, expression profiles in wild type and a fcc1 mutant were compared to identify genes with patterns of expression similar to the FUM genes. DNA microarrays were constructed with ESTs from cDNA libraries obtained from the fcc1 mutant and wild-type strain of F. verticillioides grown on maize kernels . By microarray methodology, gene expression was measured in the fcc1 mutant and the wild type during growth on maize and in a synthetic medium at pH 3 and 8. more...

(Submitter supplied) This work presents an exploration of submerged differentiation of the ubiquitous saprophyte and industrially important fungus, Aspergillus niger, in response to a limited availability of a sole carbon and energy source, maltose. In aspergilli and other mold fungi, asexual reproduction through formation of elaborate conidiogenic structures normally requires an aerial interface. This requirement is bypassed in submerged culture in response to severe nutrient limitation. more...

(Submitter supplied) Mycelia of filamentous fungi explore new substrates by means of hyphae that extend from the periphery of the colony. Previously, it has been shown by immuno-labelling, reporter studies and in situ hybridization that these exploring hyphae are heterogenic with respect to protein secretion and transcription. We performed single hyphal tip RNA profiling using microarrays to assess the differences in RNA accumulation in neighboring exploring hyphae

(Submitter supplied) RacA is the main Rho GTPase in Aspergillus niger regulating polarity maintenance via controlling actin dynamics. We have previously shown that both deletion and dominant activation of RacA (RacG18V) provoke an actin localization defect and thereby loss of polarized tip extension. This loss of apical dominance results in frequent dichotomous branching in the racA deletion strain and an apolar growing phenotype for RacG18V. more...
