Abstract excerpt
In filamentous fungi, glycerol biosynthesis has been proposed to play an important role during conidiospore germination and in response to a hyperosmotic shock, but little is known about the genes involved. Here, we report on the characterization of the major Aspergillus nidulans glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH)-encoding gene, gfdA. G3PDH is responsible for the conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate...
