Morphogenesis and protein production in Aspergillus niger

Kwon, M.J. (2014)

Doctoral Thesis

The research described in this thesis aims to get more fundamental insights in the molecular mechanisms used by Aspergillus niger in relation to control morphology and protein secretion. Knowledge on these two aspects is highly relevant to further optimization of A.niger as a cell factory
