Project name: Aspergillus fumigatus

Description: The filamentous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is the most important pathogenic fungus among Aspergillus species associated with aspergillosis. A. fumigatus is exposed to diverse environmental stresses in the hosts during infection, such as deprivation or excess of essential metal copper. To gain further insights into copper homeostasis, we generated an A. fumigatus laboratory evolved strain with increased fitness in copper stress, and identified the mutation in a Zn2-Cys6 type transcription factor clcA.
