New tools for the genetic manipulation of filamentous fungi

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
Ulrich Kück, Birgit Hoff

Abstract

Filamentous fungi have a long-standing tradition as industrial producers of primary and secondary metabolites. Initially, industrial scientists selected production strains from natural isolates that fulfilled both microbiological and technical requirements for economical production processes. Subsequently, genetically modified strains with novel properties were obtained through traditional strain improvement programs relying mostly on random mutagenesis. In recent years, however, recombinant technologies have contributed significantly to improve the capacities of production and have also allowed the design of genetically manipulated strains. These major advances were only made possible by basic research bringing deeper and novel insights into cellular and molecular fungal processes, thus allowing the design of genetically manipulated strains. This better understanding of fundamental genetic processes in model organisms has resulted in the design and generation of new experimental transformation strategies to manipulate specifically gene expression and function in diverse filamentous fungi, including those having a biotechnical significance. In this review, we summarize recent developments in the application of homologous DNA re...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide
