Book excerpt: Aspergillus is among the economically most important fungal genera. Aspergillus species are used in the fermentation industry for the production of various enzymes, organic acids and pharmaceutically important compounds, and in Oriental food fermentations. At the same time, Aspergilli can cause opportunistic infections, and produce a range of secondary metabolites also known as mycotoxins which are harmful to humans and animals. Due to its importance in biotechnology, medicine and foods, Aspergilli are in the forefront of studies dealing with various aspects of fungi. This is well illustrated by the fact that projects aiming at sequencing the genomes of nine species are in progress. In this book, some aspects of the biology of this genus are covered, including the biotechnological importance of Aspergilli, their role in mycotoxin contamination of food products including grapes and coffee products, and implications of biodiversity of Aspergillus populations for agriculture. Among the clinical aspects, the role of Aspergilli in eye infections, the mechanisms of antifungal drug resistance and their molecular identification in the clinical setting are covered. Several chapters deal with the genomic aspects of Aspergilli, including the genomics of pigment biosynthesis, extracellular enzyme production, aflatoxin biosynthesis and the identification of genes taking part in sexual processes. Additional chapters cover the variability and inheritance of mycoviruses in Aspergilli and multilocus approaches are given to clarify the evolutionary history of the genus. Finally, a new taxonomic classification of the various Aspergillus sections is given based on multilocus sequence data.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genome sequencing has affected studies into the biology of all classes of organisms and this is certainly true for filamentous fungi. The level with which biological systems can be studied since the availability of genomes and post-genomic technologies is beyond what most people could have imagined previously. The fungal genera Aspergillus and Penicillium contain some species that are amongst the most widely used industrial microorganisms and others that are serious pathogens of plants, animals and humans. These genera are also at the forefront of fungal genomics with many genome sequences available and a whole genus genome sequencing project in progress for Aspergillus. This book highlights some of the changes in the studies into these fungi, since the availability of genome sequences. The contributions vary from insights in the taxonomy of these genera, use of genomics for forward genetics and genomic adaptations, to specific stories addressing virulence, carbon starvation, sulphur metabolism, feruloyl esterases, secondary metabolism and pH modulation, to the development of novel methodology for use in parallel to genome sequencing. It therefore provides a taste of the current status of research in Penicillium and Aspergillus and a promise of many more things to come. An essential reference for everyone working with Aspergillus and Penicillium and other filamentous fungi and the book is also recommended reading for everyone with an interest in fungal genomics.

Download or read book Systems Biotechnology of Recombinant Protein Production in Aspergillus niger written by Habib Driouch and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2011-07-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger is an important efficient microbial cell factory for industrial production of enzymes as well as organic acids or antibiotics. In submerged cultivation, A. niger exhibits a rather complex morphology which typically has a strong influence on production performance. Although difficult to control so far, the morphological shape is obviously linked to key production characteristics of fungal cell factories. In this regard, comprehensive approaches, combining systems wide analysis and optimization at the cellular level with process driven engineering of the bioreactor environment, seem most useful in order to achieve superior production processes. This was applied to recombinant proteins production in A. niger. The optimization included the use of talc or alumina micro particles, added to the culture, which allowed to the precise controlling the morphological shape of A. niger and increase enzyme production in different recombinant strains. Additionally, the targeted engineering of the morphology of A. niger into high-producing bio-pellet forms of various sizes by the addition of titanate micro particles was demonstrated. This strategy was combined with model-based medium design and development of efficient fed-batch strategies to optimize the production of the high-value enzyme fructofuranosidase, an important biocatalyst for neo-sugar in food or pharmaceutical industry, in the recombinant strain A. niger SKAn1015. As a result, the achieved enzyme titre could be increased to 2,800 U/mL, more than tenfold as compared to previously described processes. The enzyme, obtained by this micro particle enhanced process, could be applied as biocatalyst with minimal pre-treatment for the biosynthesis of 450 g/L of neo-sugar of the inulin type, such as 1 kestose and 1 nystose, which all display pre-biotics with substantial commercial interest. These studies were complementary by systems biotechnology analysis of A. niger as it is expected that this may lead to increased understanding of the context of cellular metabolism, regulation and thus further improvement of strains and processes. Fluxome analyses by 13C isotope studies and in silico design are applied to quantify the underlying carbon core metabolism of A. niger under different conditions. This yielding valuable insights towards the tailor made design of A. niger as a cell factory for recombinant protein production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kingdom fungi encompass a massive diversity of taxa with wide-ranging ecologies, life cycles, and morphologies ranging from unicellular aquatic chytrids to large mushrooms. Before molecular methods came in existence, taxonomists considered this Kingdom to be a member of the plant kingdom due to certain life styles like immobility and growth habitats. Molecular markers (also known as DNA markers), facilitated a better alternative method over traditional morphological methods, employed for the identification, characterization, and to understand the evolution of fungi. The morphological methods used for identification are mainly dependent on spore color or microscopic features whereas molecular markers are based on DNA polymorphism in the genomic organization. Phylogenetic studies reported in last decade, based on molecular markers, have reshaped the classification system of Kingdom fungi, which divided into one subkingdom, seven phyla, and ten subphyla. Recent advances in molecular mycology have opened the way for researchers to identify and characterize novel fungal species from unique environments. Mycology is concerned with the systematic study of fungi, including their genetic and biochemical properties, their use to humans as a source of medicine and food, as well as their dangers, such as poisoning and infections. In the 21st century with the development of DNA sequencing technologies and phylogenetic analysis based on molecular markers, new insights into fungal taxonomy were provided. This book contains a thorough discussion of molecular characterization and detection of different groups of fungi by using PCR-based markers and provides a comprehensive view of the applications and uses of different molecular markers in molecular mycology. It also addresses the recent molecular markers employed to solve the problems of identification and discusses current approaches used in molecular characterization and detection of fungi.

Download or read book Taxonomy of Mycotoxigenic Fungi written by S. Girisham and published by Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mycotoxins, toxic metabolites of molds elaborated during their colonization of foods and feeds, pose a threat to human and animal life. Molds are the diverse group of fungi, which grow in compatatively dry and warm environments, produce copious amount of spores and promote the elaboration of these mycotoxins. Mycotoxigenic fungi, which are unique their sporulating apparatus and exhibit wide variation in their morphology, poses a challenge in their identification. There are numerous examples of their misidentification leading to wrong conclusions. Precise information on taxonomy of these fungi is lacking. Therefore, this book fulfills the need of providing comprehensive information and keys helpful for the accurate identification of these moulds. The book also provides comprehensive account of morphology, mycotoxins produced and factors leading to the elaboration of mycotoxins. Information on their molecular detection, anamorphic and teleomorphic relationships is also included.
