    Expression of Aspergillus niger CAZymes is determined by compositional changes in wheat straw generated by hydrothermal or ionic liquid pretreatments

    The capacity of fungi, such as Aspergillus niger, to degrade lignocellulose is harnessed in biotechnology to generate biofuels and high-value compounds from renewable feedstocks. Most feedstocks are currently pre...

    Oxidative cyclization of prodigiosin by an alkylglycerol monooxygenase-like enzyme

    In Pseudoalteromonas rubra, an unclustered biosynthetic gene encodes a di-iron oxygenase-like enzyme that catalyzes regiospecific C–H activation and cyclization of prodigiosin, yet is unrelated to the Rieske oxyg...

    Succession of physiological stages hallmarks the transcriptomic response of the fungus Aspergillus niger to lignocellulose

    Understanding how fungi degrade lignocellulose is a cornerstone of improving renewables-based biotechnology, in particular for the production of hydrolytic enzymes. Considerable progress has been made in inves...
