Metabolism of d‐galactose is dispensable for the induction of the beta‐galactosidase (bgaD) and lactose permease (lacpA) genes in Aspergillus nidulans
In this study, we analyze the expression of the Aspergillus nidulans bgaD‐lacpA gene couple (encoding an intracellular beta‐galactosidase and a lactose permease) in the presence of d‐galactose. This monosaccharide can be catabolized via alternative, independent pathways in this model organism. The inductive capabilities of intermediates of the two alternative routes of d‐galactose utilization were addressed in loss‐of‐function mutants defective in a defined step in one of the two pathways. In a galactokinase (galE9) mutant, the cluster is strongly induced by d‐galactose, suggesting that formation of Leloir pa...

Fusarium oxysporum induces the production of proteins and volatile organic compounds by Trichoderma harzianum T‐E5
In conclusion, mycoparasitism of T‐E5 against FOC involved mycelium contact and the production of complex extracellular substances. Together, these data provide clues to help further clarify the interactions between these fungi. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: FEMS Microbiology Letters)

Alpha‐terpineol promotes triterpenoid production of Antrodia cinnamomea in submerged culture
Abstract Antrodia cinnamomea is a medicinal mushroom producing potent bioactive triterpenoids. However, triterpenoids of A. cinnamomea in submerged culture are much less than those in fruiting bodies. Here we evaluated effects of different extracts from a host‐related species, Cinnamomum camphora, on the mycelial growth and triterpenoid production of A. cinnamomea in submerged culture. The hot water extract of the stem showed the strongest promotion of the mycelial growth. The petroleum ether extract of the stem (PES) (0.05 g L−1) showed the greatest stimulatory effect on content and production of triterpenoids. A ...
