Abstract excerpt
Four mutants of Trichoderma reesei defective in cellulose utilization were characterized at the molecular level. Genomic analysis of the cellulase-encoding genes (cel) and transcript induction using two well-established inducers of the cel system--the insoluble polymer, cellulose and the soluble inducer, sophorose,--revealed that these mutants are defective in the transcription of cel genes. The results also...
