Study on genetic engineering of , the cephalosporin C producer.

is an important filamentous fungus which produces cephalosporin C in industry. This review summarized the study on genetic engineering of , including biosynthesis and regulation for fermentation of cephalosporin C, molecular techniques, molecular breeding and transcriptomics of . We believe with all the techniques available and full genomic sequence, the industrial strain of can be genetically modified to better serve the pharmaceutical industry.
