  • Publication number: 20230053729
    Abstract: The invention discloses a construction method of genetic engineering fungi of filamentous fungi. Through the genetic engineering method, the filamentous fungi overexpress the positive regulation genes of ethanol synthesis, and/or down regulate the negative regulation genes of endogenous ethanol synthesis to obtain genetic engineering strains. Or overexpression of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and ethanol dehydrogenase containing mitochondrial localization signal sequence, or overexpression of pyruvate decarboxylase and ethanol dehydrogenase containing mitochondrial localization signal sequence, or overexpression of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, ethanol dehydrogenase and pyruvate decarboxylase containing mitochondrial localization signal sequence in filamentous fungal cells. Compared with the original strain, the ethanol synthesis ability of the obtained genetically engineered strains are improved.

  • Patent number: 9441255
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for increasing the production of one or more cellulases from a fungal host cell. The disclosure is based, on the surprising discovery that mis-expression of the transcriptional regulator clr-2 in a filamentous fungal cell was able to induce expression of cellulase genes under non-inducing or starvation conditions, resulting in increased secretion of cellulases from the cell. Advantageously, mis-expression of the transcription factor clr-2 in a filamentous fungal cell cultured in the absence of cellulose or cellobiose results in increased secretion of cellulases.
