Aspergillus terreus strain:T3_Kankrej Genome sequencing and assembly. Aspergillus terreus strain:T3_Kankrej

Aspergillus sp. plays an essential role in lignocellulosic biomass recycling and is also exploited as cell factories for the production of industrial enzymes. The Aspergillus genome encodes various ligno-cellulolytic enzymes such as cellulase, pectinase, xylanase, laccase, peroxidase, etc. Future prospects in lignocellulolytic enzymes research are directed towards bioprospecting ofrobust novel fungal enzymes to overcome the challenge of recalcitrant substrates, physiological regulations of enzymes, use of novel inducers toenhance production, use of multiple fungal strains or mixture of enzymes, gene cloning to screen for new generation of enzymes and nanobiotechnologal applications in enzymology. Strains of Aspergillus terreus are known to produce xylanase. The genomic analyses of Aspergillus terreus can be used to expand our knowledge on the genetic information of lignocellulolytic enzyme systems.
