“…Among ascomycetes, the genome of P. anserina revealed the potential of this coprophilic fungus to hydrolyze recalcitrant lignocellulosic residues (19). It contains a significantly higher number of putative cellulases and xylanases compared to A. niger, A. nidulans and A. oryzae, reflected by its growth profile, which is better than Aspergillus species on cellulose and xylan (15). These observations fit well with the natural biotope of P. anserina, which is a late colonizer of herbivore dung, in which lignocellulose is the main remaining organic component.…”

“…Analysis of its genome [15] in combination with proteomic studies [9,16] show it to have a similar polysaccharide degradation potential to that of the industrial fungi, and in addition the regulatory mechanisms involved in controlling the expression of plant cell wall degrading activities are mostly conserved between it and industrially important fungi [17][18][19][20]. Finally, the use of A. nidulans as a production vehicle could provoke less concern regarding mycotoxin synthesis since its genome encodes the metabolic pathway for the less toxic compound sterigmatocystin compared to certain industrial strains which still retain the capacity to produce very harmful mycotoxins [21,22].…”

“…We further assessed the phenotype of 34 strains containing deletions of predicted transcription factor (TF) genes that showed induction when N. crassa is exposed to xylan and identified a predicted ortholog of xlnR/xyr1 (NCU06971; xlr-1). In Hypocrea jecorina (Trichoderma reesei) and Aspergillus spp., the transcriptional regulator XYR1/XlnR, respectively, regulates expression of both hemicellulase and cellulase genes (12,31,34,38,51,52,61). Lossof-function mutants in xlnR in Aspergillus niger exhibit strongly reduced xylanolytic activities (64).…”
