(Submitter supplied) Guar gum consists mainly of galactomannan, and constitutes the endosperm of guar seeds that acts as a reserve polysaccharide for germination. Due to its molecular structure and physical properties, this biopolymer has been considered as one of the most important and widely used gums in industry. However, for many of these applications this (hemi-)cellulosic structure needs to be modified or (partially) depolymerized in order to customize and improve its physicochemical properties. more...

(Submitter supplied) Aspergillus niger is a filamentous ascomycete fungus that is commonly found in most biotopes around the globe. In nature, A. niger degrades the plant biomass polysaccharides to monomeric sugars, transports them into the cells, and uses a variety of catabolic pathways to convert them into biochemical building blocks and energy. We show that when grown in liquid cultures, A. niger takes up plant-biomass derived monomeric sugars (and maltose) in a highly sequential manner, rather than simultaneously. 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) Filamentous fungi are ubiquitous organisms and major plant biomass degraders. As a single colony, some fungal species can colonize large areas as up to five soccer stadia. During growth, the mycelium encounters heterogeneous carbon sources. Here we assessed whether substrate heterogeneity is a main determinant of spatial gene expression in colonies of Aspergillus niger. This question was addressed by analyzing whole-genome gene expression in five concentric zones of 5-day-old sugar beet pulp grown colonies. more...

(Submitter supplied) Transcriptomics signatures of Aspergillus niger were used to predict regulator proteins mediating the survival responses against these stressors and the phenotypes of selected null mutant strains were studied. This integrated approach allowed us to reconstruct a model for the cell wall salvage gene network of A. niger that ensures survival of the fungus upon cell surface stress. The model predicts that (i) caspofungin and aureobasidin A induce the cell wall integrity pathway as main compensatory response including RhoB, RhoD, MkkA and RlmA as regulator proteins. more...

(Submitter supplied) Interaction of microbes affects the growth, metabolism and differentiation of members of the community. While direct and indirect competitions, like spite and nutrient consumption have negative effect on each other, microbes also evolved in nature not only to fight, but in some cases to adapt or support each other while increasing the fitness of the community. Presence of bacteria and fungi in the soil results in interactions and various examples were described, including mutualism. more...

(Submitter supplied) The Tup1-Cyc8 (Ssn6) complex is a well characterized and conserved general transcriptional repressor complex in eukaryotic cells. 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) 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...

(Submitter supplied) Genome-wide analysis was performed to assess the transcriptional landscape of germinating A. niger conidia using GeneChips. The metabolism of storage compounds during conidial germination was also examined and compared to the transcript levels from associated genes. The transcriptome of dormant conidia was shown to be highly differentiated from that of germinating conidia and major changes in response to environmental shift occurred within the first hour of germination. 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) 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...

(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 impact of natamycin on Aspergillus niger was analysed during 8 h of germination of conidia. Polarization, germ tube formation, and mitosis were inhibited in the presence of 3 µM and 10 µM of the anti fungal compound natamycin, while at 10 µM also isotropic growth was affected. Natamycin did not have an effect on the decrease of internal microviscosity and the concomitant reduction on mannitol and trehalose levels. more...

(Submitter supplied) Conidia of Aspergillus niger are characterized by a dormant state and are moderate stress-resistant. Upon contact with a moist substrate, germination of conidia occurs by changing from a dormant stabilized state towards a growing vegetative cell. The RNA expression levels of dormant conidia and conidia that were in various stages of germination were studied. The RNA composition of dormant conidia was substantially different than all the subsequent stages of germination. more...
