This study aimed to develop an easily attainable method to elicit the metabolic potential of fungi using Aspergillus nidulans laeA as a transcription regulation tool. In this study, functional analysis of Aspergillus nidulans laeA (AnLaeA) and Aspergillus sp. Z5 laeA (Az5LaeA) was done in the fungus Aspergillus sp. Z5. Heterologous AnLaeA-and native Az5LaeA-overexpression exhibited similar phenotypic effects and caused an increase in production of a bioactive compound diorcinol in Aspergillus sp. Z5, which proved the conserved function of this global regulator. In particular, heteroexpression of AnLaeA showed a significant impact on the expression of velvet complex genes, diorcinol synthesis-related genes, and different transcription factors (TFs). Moreover, heteroexpression of AnLaeA influenced the whole genome gene expression of Aspergillus sp. Z5 and triggered the upregulation of many genes. Overall, these findings suggest that heteroexpression of AnLaeA in fungi serves as a simple and easy method to explore their metabolic potential. In relation to this, AnLaeA was overexpressed in the fungus Penicillium sp. LC1-4, which resulted in increased production of quinolactacin A. Keywords: Aspergillus; heteroexpression; LaeA; fungi; secondary metabolites 1. Introduction Marine fungi are a prolific source of discovering new drugs with tremendous bioactivities [1–5]. Many studies revealed the noteworthiness of these microorganisms as a prospective resource of pharmaceutically important antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, enzyme inhibitor, and antitumor compounds [6]. Industrial investments in natural product research have decreased because conventional methods for the discovery of natural products cannot fulfil the increasing need of bioactive compounds in the healthcare system [7]. Many genetic manipulation methodologies, for instance, transcriptional regulation, epigenetic regulation, ribosome engineering, and heterologous expression, have been tested to analyze biosynthetic processes at different gene regulation levels in different fungi [8–10], but there is still a need to choose an easily attainable approach that could also work in those unstudied fungi whose genomes are not explored. Global regulators regulate the expression of secondary metabolite (SM) biosynthetic gene clusters [7]. The discovery of global regulator LaeA in Aspergillus spp. by Bok and Keller has revolutionized the understanding of fungal secondary metabolism [11]. The dynamic roles of LaeA Mar.

In the present study, we hypothesized that if the function of LaeA is conserved among filamentous fungi, then A. nidulans laeA can be used as a transcription regulation tool to upregulate biosynthetic fungi, then A. nidulans laeA can be used as a transcription regulation tool to upregulate biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in fungi. The proposed method may exclude the need for genome sequencing gene clusters (BGCs) in fungi.

Tissue fragments were analyzed on potato-glucose agar (PDA) and maltose (MA) (Difco) media using standard laboratory techniques. Cultures were identified using classi- cal and molecular methods. Macro- and microscopic colony morphology was characteristic of fungi from the genus Aspergillus (restricted growth series), most probably Aspergillus penicillioides Speg. Molecular analysis of the following rDNA regions: ITS1, ITS2, 5.8S, 28S rDNA, LSU and β-tubulin were carried out for the isolates studied. A high level of similarity was found between sequences from certain rDNA regions, i.e. ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 and LSU, what confirmed the classification of the isolates to the species A. penicillioides. The classification of our isolates to A. penicillioides species was confirmed also by the phylogenetic analysis.

The majority of genes required for production of these metabolites are mostly organized in gene clusters, which often are silent or barely expressed under laboratory conditions, making discovery and analysis difficult.

In this review we briefly discuss the distribution of toxigenic Aspergillus species in nuts, coffee and cocoa beans, dried fruits, grapes, maize, rice and small grains. Future perspectives of distribution of Aspergillus species in foods is briefly discussed taking into account the impacts of climate change and the resilience of these mycotoxigenic species. Introduction Aspergillus is one of the three fungal genera most important in the spoilage of foodstuffs and in the production of mycotoxins, the others being Fusarium and Penicillium. Aspergillus species are the best adapted to growth in the tropics, as common species rarely grow below 10°C and most grow strongly at 37°C or above [1]. Most species that occur commonly in foods are xerophilic, with major toxin producers all able to grow down to, or near to, 0.80 water activity [1]. Some are strictly saprophytic, growing only after harvest, while some are commensals, able to grow in some plant crops and developing nuts or kernels before harvest without causing damage to the crop.
