Production of Industrial Enzymes in Trichoderma reesei
The mesophilic filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei (teleomorph Hypocrea jecorina) has become a major cell factory in the enzyme industry, and the benchmark organism for production of cellulases, especially for biomass conversion. The strain was originally isolated during the second World War from US Army tent canvas in the Solomon Islands and initially identified as Trichoderma viride. The is...
متن کاملENVOY is a major determinant in regulation of sexual development in Hypocrea jecorina (Trichoderma reesei).
Light is one crucial environmental signal which can determine whether a fungus reproduces asexually or initiates sexual development. Mating in the ascomycete Hypocrea jecorina (anamorph Trichoderma reesei) occurs preferentially in light. We therefore investigated the relevance of the light response machinery for sexual development in H. jecorina. We found that the photoreceptors BLR1 and BLR2 a...
متن کاملNovel Approaches to Improve Cellulase Biosynthesis for Biofuel Production – Adjusting Signal Transduction Pathways in the Biotechnological Workhorse Trichoderma reesei
Every living organism is destined to adjust its life style to the ecological niche of its habitat. Thereby the rotation of the earth, bringing about daily changes in light conditions, humidity and temperature, as well as nutrient requirements and the need for reproduction dominate the existence of creatures from bacteria to man. Adjustment of literally every biochemical pathway to the environme...
متن کاملBlue Light Acts as a Double-Edged Sword in Regulating Sexual Development of Hypocrea jecorina (Trichoderma reesei)
The industrially important cellulolytic filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei is the anamorph of the pantropical ascomycete Hypocrea jecorina. H. jecorina CBS999.97 strain undergoes a heterothallic reproductive cycle, and the mating yields fertilized perithecia imbedded in stromata. Asci in the perithecia contain 16 linearly arranged ascospores. Here, we investigated H. jecorina sexual developm...
متن کاملEnhanced Expression of Endochitinase in Trichoderma harzianum with the cbh1 Promoter of Trichoderma reesei.
Production of extracellular endochitinase could be increased 5-fold in the mycoparasite fungus Trichoderma harzianum by using the cellulase promoter cbh1 of Trichoderma reesei, whereas the total endochitinase activity increased 10-fold. The cbh1 promoter was not expressed on glucose and sucrose in T. harzianum and was induced by sophorose and on cellulase-inducing medium. The endogenous endochi...
