Abstract

Integrated genomic and proteomic approaches, allied to advanced bioinformatics, will be applied to provide new information on the regulation of hyphal development and protein secretion by filamentous fungi, with a focus on Aspergillus niger. Bottlenecks that limit the application of A. niger as a host for heterologous protein production will be identified in order that they may be overcome. The genome sequence of A. niger has been specifically made available for this project, in which we will grow A. niger under tightly-controlled conditions, develop molecular tools for gene manipulation in Aspergillus species and explore the molecular basis of hyphal development and the stress for protein secretion. (Joint with grant 17724, 17725 and 17726).
