Project name: Genome-wide analysis of maltose utilization and regulation in aspergilla

Description: Comparative genomics and transcriptomics of the filamentous fungi Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus niger have opened possibilities for investigating the cellular metabolism and regulation of these fungi on a systemic level. The aim of this work was to understand how metabolism is regulated and to identify common regulatory responses between A. oryzae and A. niger. We therefore conducted batch fermentations with A. oryzae and A. niger grown on three different carbon sources (glucose, maltose, and xylose) in order to investigate their genome-wide transcription responseKeywords: Two Aspergillus species and different carbon sourcesOverall design: Three conditions (glucose, maltose and xylose) with three biological replicates for A. oryzae and A. niger

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression
