Differential gene expression of some lignocellulolytic enzymes in Aspergillus niger biofilms

چکیده
A preliminary evaluation of transcriptional gene expression in Aspergillus niger ATCC 10864 biofilms developed on polyester cloth was carried out. The expression analysis of genes encoding some lignocellulolytic enzymes and some regulatory genes by means of RT-PCR showed that eng1, eglC, exo, eglA, eglB and xynB genes are differentially expressed in biofilm fermentation either time-related or through the production of more than a transcript as compared to A. niger grown in submerged fermentation. Likewise, the regulatory genes xlnR and creA showed time-related expression patterns that were different in both fermentation systems. Results attained in this work contribute with an initial molecular evidence of differential gene expression as well as differential gene regulation patterns in fungal biofilms that may be related to cell adhesion.

Production of lignocellulolytic enzymes by Aspergillus niger biofilms at variable water activities
Lignocellulolytic enzyme production by Aspergillus niger was compared both in submerged fermentation (SF) and biofilm fermentation (BF) at varying water activities. Maximal filter paper activity, endoglucanase and xylanase activities were much higher in BF (2.96, 4.7 and 4.61 IU ml, respectively) than in SF cultures (1.71, 1.31 and 2.3 IU ml, respectively) but biomass yields were lower in BF th...

متن کاملDatabase mining and transcriptional analysis of genes encoding inulin-modifying enzymes of Aspergillus niger.
As a soil fungus, Aspergillus niger can metabolize a wide variety of carbon sources, employing sets of enzymes able to degrade plant-derived polysaccharides. In this study the genome sequence of A. niger strain CBS 513.88 was surveyed, to analyse the gene/enzyme network involved in utilization of the plant storage polymer inulin, and of sucrose, the substrate for inulin synthesis in plants. In ...
