Generation and phenotypic characterization of Aspergillus nidulans methylisocitrate lyase deletion mutants: methylisocitrate inhibits growth and conidiation.

Abstract excerpt

Propionate is a very abundant carbon source in soil, and many microorganisms are able to use this as the sole carbon source. Nevertheless, propionate not only serves as a carbon source for filamentous fungi but also acts as a preservative when added to glucose containing media. To solve this contradiction between carbon source and preservative effect, propionate metabolism of Aspergillus nidulans was studied and...
