Project description:Antagonistic yeasts inhibit the growth of fungal. In our previous research, Meyerozyma guilliermondii one of antagonistic yeasts exhibits antagonistic activity against Penicillium expansum. However, the mechanisms, especially the molecular mechanisms of inhibiting activity of M. guilliermondii are not clear. In this study, the transcriptome characterization of P. expansum induced by M. guilliermondii were investigated.
Project description:In Aspergillus sp., BrlA is a master transcription factor essential for the induction of conidiogenesis. Sometimes it is also involved in the secondary metabolism. The aim of this study was to characterize the role of BrlA in Penicillium expansum. For that a null mutant PeΔBrlA was generated.
