Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE37758: Aspergillus niger : Control (fructose) vs. steam-exploded sugarcane induction (SEB) GSE37760: Aspergillus niger : Control (fructose) vs. xylose + arabinose (XA) Refer to individual Series
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of A. niger comparing mutant strains with the disrupted xylanolytic transcriptional activator gene, XlnR, the arabinolytic transcriptional activator gene, AraR, and the double mutant (ΔXlnR, ΔaraR and ΔaraRΔXlnR, repsectively) treated with steam-exploded sugarcane bagasse (SEB) for 12 and 24 h. The main objective was to identify genes related to cellulases and hemicellulases in mutant strains grown on SEB, with indirect comparisons with the WT strain grown on SEB [the (WT/SEB) data deposited in GSE24798]. The experiment was further validated by real-time PCR and enzymatic assay.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of A. niger comparing mutant strains with the disrupted xylanolytic transcriptional activator gene, XlnR, the arabinolytic transcriptional activator gene, AraR, and the double mutant (M-NM-^TXlnR, M-NM-^TaraR and M-NM-^TaraRM-NM-^TXlnR, repsectively) treated with steam-exploded sugarcane bagasse (SEB) for 12 and 24 h. The main objective was to identify genes related to cellulases and hemicellulases in mutant strains grown on SEB, with indirect comparisons with the WT strain grown on SEB [the (WT/SEB) data deposited in GSE24798]. The experiment was further validated by real-time PCR and enzymatic assay. Two-condition experiment : A. niger mutant strains on SEB for 12 and 24 h at 30 oC in batch culture. Firstly, the strains were pre-grown in minimal medium with fructose as carbon source (control), and then transferred to SEB as carbon source.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of A. niger comparing WT strain vs. ΔXlnR strain treated with steam-exploded sugarcane bagasse (SESB) for 6, 12 and 24 h. The main objective was to identifiy genes related to cellulases and hemicellulases, comparing the differences between WT strain and the strain with the disrupted xylanolytic transcriptional activator gene, XlnR, after treatment with steam-exploded sugarcane. The experiment was further validated by real-time PCR, mass spectrometry of secreted proteins and enzymatic assays.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of A. niger comparing WT strain vs. ÎXlnR strain treated with steam-exploded sugarcane bagasse (SESB) for 6, 12 and 24 h. The main objective was to identifiy genes related to cellulases and hemicellulases, comparing the differences between WT strain and the strain with the disrupted xylanolytic transcriptional activator gene, XlnR, after treatment with steam-exploded sugarcane. The experiment was further validated by real-time PCR, mass spectrometry of secreted proteins and enzymatic assays. Three-condition experiment : WT-SESB or ÎXlnR-SESB for 6, 12 and 24 h at 30 oC in batch culture. Firstly, WT and ÎXlnR strains were grown in minimal medium with fructose as carbon source (control), and then transferred to SESB as carbon source.
Project description:Conidia of Aspergillus niger are characterized by a dormant state and are moderate stress-resistant. Upon contact with a moist substrate, germination of conidia occurs by changing from a dormant stabilized state towards a growing vegetative cell. The RNA expression levels of dormant conidia and conidia that were in various stages of germination were studied. The RNA composition of dormant conidia was substantially different than all the subsequent stages of germination. This indicates that the distinct morphological changes that occur during germination are not correlated with the highest change in the transcriptome. Samples of germinating conidia of Aspergillus niger N402 were taken in triple at 0h (dormant), 2h, 4h, 6h and 8h after inoculation in CM.
