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 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: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:The aim of this study was to investigate the regulatory role of Aspergillus niger AmyR and InuR during growth on inulin and sucrose
Project description:The full genome sequencing of the filamentous fungi Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae has opened the possibilities for studying the cellular physiology of these fungi on a systemic level. As a tool to explore this, we are presenting an Affymetrix GeneChip developed for transcriptome analysis of any of the three above-mentioned aspergilli. Transcriptome analysis of triplicate batch cultivations of all three aspergilli on glucose-and xylose media has been performed, and used to validate the performance of the micro array. By doing gene comparisons of all three species, and cross-analysing this with the expression data, 23 genes, including the xylose transcriptional activator XlnR, have been identified to be a conserved response across the Aspergillus sp. Promoter analysis of the upregulated genes in all three species suggest the XlnR-binding site to be 5’-GGNTAAA-3’. We are thus presenting a validated tool for transcription analysis of three Aspergillus species and a methodology for comparative transcriptomics. Keywords: Physiological response
