Enzymatic characterization of a monokaryon population of the edible mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus with a view to genetic improvement
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2006) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaIn this work the lignocellulolytic enzymes produced by the edible mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus var. florida were studied. The objective was to know their relationship with the degradation of the biopolymers present in ... -
Evidence for a 200 gene ribosome and rRNA biosynthesis (rrb) regulon in fungi
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2006) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaTwo challenges of the post genomic era are 1) the need to assign functions to as yet uncharacterized gene products, and 2) the requirement to understand how the expression profiles of large sets of genes are regulated ... -
Expression of GFP and DsRed in the homobasidiomycete Schizophyllum commune
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2006) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaExpression of GFP and DsRed was studied in the homobasidiomycete Schizophyllum commune. CGFP or sGFP fused to the SC3 promoter resulted in similar steady state mRNA levels. These levels were considerably lower than that ... -
Expression of mating type genes in heterologous basidiomycetes
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2006) Contribución a congreso / Biltzarrerako ekarpenaMating processes in basidiomycetes are controlled by genes encoding two types of transcription factors (HD1 and HD2) and by genes encoding pheromones and pheromone receptors. For a successful mating reaction, an HD1 ... -
