Abstrakt: The article analyzes the biological role of β-1,3-exoglucanase gene exgA (exg1) of Aspergillus oryzae and the expression pattern of the exgA (exg1) gene. According to the authors, a combination of poor nutrition and mycelial attachment to a hydrophobic solid surface appears to be an inducing factor for exgA expression. They add that ExgA plays a role in β-glucan utilization, but is not much involved in cell wall β-glucan remodeling.
