    • Cold-active pectinolytic activity produced by filamentous fungi associated with Antarctic marine sponges 
      Poveda, Gabriela; Gil Durán, Carlos; Vaca Cerezo, Inmaculada; Levicán, Gloria; Chávez, Renato (2018)
      BACKGROUND: Pectinase enzymes catalyze the breakdown of pectin, a key component of the plant cell wall. At industrial level, pectinases are used in diverse applications, especially in food-processing industry. Currently, ...
    • Heterologous expression, purification and characterization of a highly thermolabile endoxylanase from the ... 
      Gil Durán, Carlos; Ravanal, María Cristina; Ubilla, Pamela; Vaca Cerezo, Inmaculada; Chávez, Renato (Elsevier B.V., 2018)
      © 2018 British Mycological SocietyNumerous endoxylanases from mesophilic fungi have been purified and characterized. However, endoxylanases from cold-adapted fungi, especially those from Antarctica, have been less studied. ...
    • Identification and Functional Analysis of the Mycophenolic Acid Gene Cluster of Penicillium roqueforti 
      Cid, Abdiel del; Gil Durán, Carlos; Vaca Cerezo, Inmaculada; Rojas Aedo, Juan F.; García Rico, Ramón O.; Levicán, Gloria; Chávez, Renato (Public Library Science, 2016)
      The filamentous fungus Penicillium roqueforti is widely known as the ripening agent of blue-veined cheeses. Additionally, this fungus is able to produce several secondary metabolites, including the meroterpenoid compound ...
    • IMA genome-F14 draft genome sequences of penicillium roqueforti, fusarium sororula, chrysoporthe puriensis, ... 
      Van der Nest, Magriet A.; Chávez, Renato; De Vos, Lieschen; Duong, Tuan A.; Gil Durán, Carlos; Ferreira, María Alves; Lane, Frances a.; Levicán, Gloria; Santana, Quentin C.; Steenkamp, Emma T.; Suzuki, Hiroyuki; Tello, Mario; Rakoma, Jostina R.; Vaca Cerezo, Inmaculada; Valdés, Natalia; Wilken, P. Markus; Wingfield, Michael J.; Wingfield, Brenda D. (BMC, 2021)
      Draft genomes of Penicillium roqueforti, Fusarium sororula, Chalaropsis populi, and Chrysoporthe puriensis are presented. Penicillium roqueforti is a model fungus for genetics, physiological and metabolic studies, as well ...
    • The pcz1 Gene, which Encodes a Zn(II)(2)Cys(6) Protein, Is Involved in the Control of Growth, Conidiation, ... 
      Gil Durán, Carlos; Rojas Aedo, Juan F.; Medina, Exequiel; Vaca Cerezo, Inmaculada; García Rico, Ramón O.; Villagrán, Sebastián; Levicán, Gloria; Chávez, Renato (Public Library Science, 2015)
      Proteins containing Zn(II)(2)Cys(6) domains are exclusively found in fungi and yeasts. Genes encoding this class of proteins are broadly distributed in fungi, but few of them have been functionally characterized. In this ...
    • Role of sfk1 gene in the filamentous fungus Penicillium roqueforti 
      Torrent, Claudia; Gil Durán, Carlos; Rojas Aedo, Juan F.; Medina, Exequiel; Vaca Cerezo, Inmaculada; Castro, Paulo; García Rico, Ramón O.; Cotoras, Milena; Mendoza, Leonora; Levicán, Gloria; Chávez, Renato (Frontiers Media S.A., 2017)
      © 2017 Torrent, Gil-Durán, Rojas-Aedo, Medina, Vaca, Castro, García-Rico, Cotoras, Mendoza, Levicán and Chávez. The sfk1 (suppressor of four kinase) gene has been mainly studied in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, where it was ...
    • The biosynthetic gene cluster for andrastin A in Penicillium roqueforti 
      Rojas Aedo, Juan F.; Gil Durán, Carlos; Del-Cid, Abdiel; Valdés, Natalia; Álamos, Pamela; Vaca Cerezo, Inmaculada; García Rico, Ramón O.; Levicán, Gloria; Tello, Mario; Chávez, Renato (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2017)
      © 2017 Rojas-Aedo, Gil-Durán, Del-Cid, Valdés, álamos, Vaca, García-Rico, Levicán, Tello and Chávez. Penicillium roqueforti is a filamentous fungus involved in the ripening of several kinds of blue cheeses. In addition, ...
    • The emergence of new catalytic abilities in an endoxylanase from family GH10 by removing an intrinsically ... 
      Gil Durán, Carlos; Sepúlveda, Romina V.; Rojas, Maximiliano; Castro Fernández, Víctor Hugo; Guixe Leguia, Victoria; Vaca Cerezo, Inmaculada; Levicán, Gloria; González Nilo, Fernando; Ravanal, María Cristina; Chávez, Renato (MDPI, 2022)
      Endoxylanases belonging to family 10 of the glycoside hydrolases (GH10) are versatile in the use of different substrates. Thus, an understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying substrate specificities could be very ...
    • The pcz1 Gene, which Encodes a Zn(II)2Cys6 Protein, Is Involved in the Control of Growth, Conidiation, ...
