Identification of a Conserved Transcriptional Activator-Repressor Module Controlling the Expression of Genes Involved in Tannic Acid Degradation and Gallic Acid Utilization in Aspergillus niger

Author(s): Arentshorst M; Falco MD; Moisan MC; Reid ID; Spaapen TOM; van Dam J; Demirci E; Powlowski J; Punt PJ; Tsang A; Ram AFJ;

Tannic acid, a hydrolysable gallotannin present in plant tissues, consists of a central glucose molecule esterified with gallic acid molecules. Some microorganisms, including several Aspergillus species, can metabolize tannic acid by releasing gallic acid residues from tannic acid by secreting ta ...

Utilization of ferulic acid in Aspergillus niger requires the transcription factor FarA and a newly identified Far-like protein (FarD) that lacks the canonical Zn(II)2Cys6 domain

Author(s): Arentshorst M; Reijngoud J; van Tol DJC; Reid ID; Arendsen Y; Pel HJ; van Peij NNME; Visser J; Punt PJ; Tsang A; Ram AFJ;

The feruloyl esterase B gene (faeB) is specifically induced by hydroxycinnamic acids (e.g. ferulic acid, caffeic acid and coumaric acid) but the transcriptional regulation network involved in faeB induction and ferulic acid metabolism has only been partially addressed. To identify transcription f ...

Loss of function of the carbon catabolite repressor CreA leads to low but inducer-independent expression from the feruloyl esterase B promoter in Aspergillus niger

Author(s): Reijngoud J; Arentshorst M; Ruijmbeek C; Reid I; Alazi ED; Punt PJ; Tsang A; Ram AFJ;

Objective: With the aim to decipher the mechanisms involved in the transcriptional regulation of feruloyl esterase encoded by faeB, a genetic screen was performed to isolate A. niger mutants displaying inducer-independent expression from the faeB promoter. Result: PfaeB-amdS and PfaeB-lux dual reporter strains were constructed and used to isolate trans-a ...

Deletion of the Aspergillus niger Pro-Protein Processing Protease Gene kexB Results in a pH-Dependent Morphological Transition during Submerged Cultivations and Increases Cell Wall Chitin Content.

Author(s): van Leeuwe TM, Arentshorst M, Forn-Cuní G, Geoffrion N, Tsang A, Delvigne F, Meijer AH, Ram AFJ, Punt PJ

There is a growing interest in the use of post-fermentation mycelial waste to obtain cell wall chitin as an added-value product. In the pursuit to identify suitable production strains that can be used for post-fermentation cell wall harvesting, we turned to an Aspergillus niger strain in which th ...
