Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Elucidation of the regulation of ChiB production in Aspergillus nidulans. METHODS AND RESULTS: Mutational inactivation of the A. nidulans chiB gene resulted in a nonautolytic phenotype. To better understand the mechanisms controlling both developmental progression and fungal autolysis, we examined a range of autolysis-associated parameters in A. nidulans developmental and/or autolytic mutants. Investigation...
