Enhanced glycosyl hydrolase production in Aspergillus nidulans using transcription factor engineering approaches

[Background] Engineered fungi are attractive platforms for the production of plant cell wall hydrolytic enzymes which, among other biotechnological applications, are required for the efficient conversion of biomass to glucose and other fermentable sugars.

Sumario:[Background] Engineered fungi are attractive platforms for the production of plant cell wall hydrolytic enzymes which, among other biotechnological applications, are required for the efficient conversion of biomass to glucose and other fermentable sugars. As a fungal model system, Aspergillus nidulans provides genetic tools that are of relevance in this context and potentially applicable to industrially important filamentous fungi. The goal of this study is to assess the utility of A. nidulans as a host for recombinant protein production.
