The filamentous fungus Aspergillus kawachii has traditionally been used for brewing the Japanese distilled spirit shochu. A. kawachii characteristically hyperproduces citric acid and a variety of polysaccharide glycoside hydrolases. Here the genome sequence of A. kawachii IFO 4308 was determined and annotated. Analysis of the sequence may provide insight into the properties of this fungus that make it superior for use in shochu production, leading to the further development of A. kawachii for industrial applications.
丝状真菌河合曲霉传统上被用于酿造日本蒸馏酒烧酒。河合曲霉的特点是超量产生柠檬酸和多种多糖糖苷水解酶。在此,我们测定并注释了河合曲霉IFO 4308的基因组序列。对该序列的分析可能有助于深入了解这种真菌在烧酒生产中表现出色的特性,从而推动河合曲霉在工业应用方面的进一步发展。
