Comparative metabolism of cellulose, sophorose and glucose in Trichoderma reese...
Castro, Lilian dos Santos; Pedersoli, Wellington Ramos; Antoniêto, Amanda Cristina Campos; Steindorff, Andrei Stecca; Rocha, Rafael SilvaBackground: The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei is a major producer of lignocellulolytic enzymes utilized by bioethanol industries. However, to achieve low cost second generation bioethanol production on an industrial scale an efficient mix of hydrolytic enzymes is required for the deconstruction of plant biomass. In this study, we investigated the molecular basis for lignocellulose-degrading enzyme produ...

Brown, Neil Andrew; dos Reis, Thaila Fernanda; Goinski, Amanda Beatriz; Savoldi, Marcela; Menino, João Filipe Marques Almeida FerreiraIn the heterogeneous semi-solid environment naturally occupied by lignocellulolytic fungi the majority of nutrients are locked away as insoluble plant biomass. Hence, lignocellulolytic fungi must actively search for, and attach to, a desirable source of nutrients. During growth on lignocellulose a period of carbon deprivation provokes carbon catabolite derepression and scavenging hydrolase secretion. Subsequent...

Functional characterization of a xylose transporter in Aspergillus nidulans
Rodrigues, Fernando José dos Santos; Menino, João F.; Colabardini, Ana Cristina; Ries, Laure Nicolas Annick; Brown, Neil AndrewBACKGROUND: The production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic feedstocks will only become economically feasible when the majority of cellulosic and hemicellulosic biopolymers can be efficiently converted into bioethanol. The main component of cellulose is glucose, whereas hemicelluloses mainly consist of pentose sugars such as D-xylose and L-arabinose. The genomes of filamentous fungi such as A. nidulans encode...
Identification of glucose transporters in Aspergillus nidulans
Reis, Thaila Fernanda dos; Menino, João F.; Pedro Bom, Vinícius Leite; Brown, Neil Andrew; Colabardini, Ana Cristina; Savoldi, Marcelao characterize the mechanisms involved in glucose transport, in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, we have identified four glucose transporter encoding genes hxtB-E. We evaluated the ability of hxtB-E to functionally complement the Saccharomyces cerevisiae EBY.VW4000 strain that is unable to grow on glucose, fructose, mannose or galactose as single carbon source. In S. cerevisiae HxtB-E were targeted ...
