Show moreAutopaghy is an intracellular degradation system which targets cytosolic components to lytic compartments for degradation and recycling of the building blocks of the cell. The process is highly induced by carbon starvation conditions. In this thesis, different roles of autophagy in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger were studied, focusing on its role during carbon starvation, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and unconventional protein secretion.
