Genome-wide ChIP seq analysis of Aspergillus nidulans reveals deregulation of fungal nitrogen metabolism triggered by Streptomyces rapamycinicus

ABSTRACT: Mining of fungal genomes uncovered their great potential for the production of novel secondary metabolites (SMs). However most of them stay silent under standard laboratory cultivation conditions. Co-cultivation of fungi with organism that occur in their natural habitat has shown to be trigger for the activation of such silent SM gene clusters. Recently, we showed that the cultivation of Aspergillus nidulans with the bacterium Streptomyces rapamycinicus leads to the activation of the orsellinic acid gene cluster. Hence we decided to study this interaction further to gain insight into the regulation of SM gene clusters and more specifically to study the chromatin remodelling network actuve upon co-cultivation of the two organisms. This study gives novel insight into the regulation of the or
