Screening of Lovastatin Production by Filamentous Fungi
In the present study, 110 fungal strains of Persian Type Culture Collection (PTCC) including some selected strains isolated in various screening projects were tested for their potentiality to produce lovastatin, a competitive inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reduc-tase), the rate-limiting enzyme of cholesterol biosynthesis. The fungal strains were cultivated in a t...
متن کاملThe fitness of filamentous fungi.
Fitness is a common currency in comparative biology. Without data on fitness, hypotheses about the adaptive significance of phenotypes or basic mechanisms of evolution, for example natural selection, remain speculative. Experiments with fungi can address questions specific to fungi or questions with a broader significance. Fungi can challenge the generality of fundamental evolutionary principle...
متن کاملEndogenous metabolism of filamentous fungi.
Among the filamentous fungi the rate of the endogenous respiration, which often is a useful measure of endogenous metabolism, usually is high as compared to the total respiration in the presence of exogenous substrates. This feature is not limited to the fungi alone and may be found under certain conditions in bacteria (Dawes and Holms, 1958) and in animal tissues as well (Allen et al., 1955). ...
متن کاملMating type in filamentous fungi.
Mating type genes regulate sexual compatibility and sexual reproduction in fungi. This review focuses on recent molecular analyses of well-characterized mating systems from representative ascomycete (Neurospora crassa, Podospora anserina) and basidiomycete (Ustilago maydis, Coprinus cinereus, Schizophyllum commune) fungi. These mating systems include many conserved components, such as gene regu...
متن کاملChemoattractive Mechanisms in Filamentous Fungi
Research on cell communication and differentiation in filamentous fungi has provided a number of novel insights into chemoattractive mechanisms in recent years. Still, identification of specific chemoattractant molecules, cognate receptors and downstream signaling pathways is strongly biased towards those involved in mating; probably due to the relative ease of functional genomic comparison to ...
