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 ...

Ring cleavage dioxygenases catalyze the critical ring-opening step in the catabolism of aromatic compounds. The archetypal filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger previously has been reported to be able to utilize a range of monocyclic aromatic compounds as sole sources of carbon and energy. The genome of A. niger has been sequenced, and deduced amino acid s ...
