Abstract

A study was conducted to examine the physiological significance of hypotoxic branched-chain amino acid production by Aspergillus nidulans and study the expression of the mechanism and properties of knockout strains of acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHAS)-encoding genes in the fungus A. nidulans. The results suggested that the hypoxic branched-chain amino acid synthesis is a unique alternative mechanism that functions in the absence of glucose-to-ethanol/lactate fermentation and oxygen respiration.
