Transcriptome during shift of Trichoderma reesei from mycelial growth to asexual sporulation

ABSTRACT: The asexual spore or conidium plays a critical role in the life cycle of many filamentous fungi, being the primary means for dispersion in the environment. To investigate the transcriptional changes taking place during the sporulation phase in T. reesei, which culminates with the production of the conidiospores, microarray experiments were performed. Among the 1,994 distinct genes displaying >90 % confidence , a total of 900 were classified as differentially expressed, relative to time zero of sporulation, at at least one of the time points analyzed. The main functional categories (FunCat) overrepresented among upregulated genes were those involving solute transport, metabolism, transcriptional regulation, secondary metabolite synthesis, lipases, proteases and particularly cellulases and
