Disruption of Trichoderma reesei cre2 encoding an ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase results in increased cellulase activity

摘要

BackgroundThe filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei (Hypocrea jecorina) is an important source of cellulases for use in the textile and alternative fuel industries. To fully understand the regulation of cellulase production in T. reesei, the role of a gene known to be involved in carbon regulation in Aspergillus nidulans, but unstudied in T. reesei, was investigated.
