Fungal

Some of these projects have included sequencing genomes for Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus nidulans and Trichoderma reesei.

By coordinating with academia to sequence 'model' microbes, we not only better understand the genetic organization and structure of fungal microorganisms with high potential for industrial use, but gain rights to genome information of certain microbes. This knowledge increases our production efficiency.

Genencor has access to the A. niger genome sequence, which has been recognized as a safe production host for large scale fermentation procedures for many years.
