An optimized high throughput platform, from genetic transformation to fermentation, to screen for secreted laccases in Aspergillus niger
Laure Marie Colette Leynaud-Kieffer Curran
Many challenges are faced in the conversion of biomass into advanced biofuels, one of which is finding the correct organism for the job. The filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger has been chosen as a biocatalyst for cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin degr ...
EPFL2022A new approach to Cas9-based genome editing in Aspergillus niger that is precise, efficient and selectable
Aspergillus niger and other filamentous fungi are widely used in industry, but efficient genetic engineering of these hosts remains nascent. For example, while molecular genetic tools have been developed, including CRISPR/Cas9, facile genome engineering of ...
2019FIBCD1 Binds Aspergillus fumigatus and Regulates Lung Epithelial Response to Cell Wall Components
Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) is a ubiquitous fungus of clinical importance associated with development of various pulmonary diseases and allergic hypersensitivity reactions. It is protected against environmental stress by a cell wall that contains ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2018Deciphering the molecular basis of mycobacteria and lipoglycan recognition by the C-type lectin Dectin-2
Dectin-2 is a C-type lectin involved in the recognition of several pathogens such as Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans, Schistosoma mansonii, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis that triggers Th17 immune responses. Identifying pathogen ligands and underst ...
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2018Synthesis, structural elucidation and biological activities of organotin(IV) derivatives of 4-(2-thienyl)butyric acid
A series of tri- and diorganotin(IV) derivatives of 4-(2-thienyl)butyric acid have been synthesized by the reaction of ligand acid with tri- and diorganotin salts in 1:1 and 2:1 molar ratios, respectively. The synthesized compounds have been confirmed by C ...
Springer2017Toward the sustainable cultivation of microalgae to produce renewable biofuels and fine chemicals
Microalgae are considered as renewable feedstock for the production of next-generation biofuels. However to achieve the financial sustainability to the algal biofuel production, it will be necessary to integrate it with the processing of high-value product ...
2014Microalgae for wastewater treatment, CO2 mitigation and biofuels : dream or sustainable maid for all work?
Christof Holliger, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Eduardo Pereira Gomes, Stephen Mackay
Over the last decade, intensive research has been carried out all over the world to explore the huge potential of microalgae for biofuel production, which could be coupled to the use of industrial flue gas to enhance CO2 fixation as a greenhouse gas mitiga ...
2014Saffron corm as a natural source of fungicides: The role of saponins in the underground
Fungi cause important deteriorations of corms from Crocus sativus L. In order to screen the antifungal properties of this organ to fight such infections, two independent experiments based on the lyophilized and sterilized external (peel) and internal parts ...
