Cloning and Postharvest Expression of Serine Proteinase Transcripts in the Cultivated Mushroom Agaricus bisporus

“…This involves the breakdown of stored carbon and nitrogen in older parts of the organism for use in the actively growing regions (Burnett, 1968;Vennables and Watkinson, 1989;Lilly et al, 1994Lilly et al, , 1991Michales, 1992). Harvesting the sporophore removes it from its main nutrient source, the compost, and the events that follow are analogous to resource recycling.…”

Secretion of heterologous and native proteins, growth and morphology in batch cultures of Aspergillus niger B1‐D at varying agitation rates

“…17 This decline in both biomass and lysozyme concentrations after 64 and 96 h respectively could represent an autolytic process, which various authors have indicated may be induced by either carbon exhaustion, 35,36 or nitrogen starvation. 37,38 In this process both substrates were near zero from around 64±72 h (Fig 1). The rise in NH 4 concentration after this period supports the view that autolysis may be occurring, since it has been shown that signi®cant deamination of amino acids occurs during autolysis in fungi.…”
