Esta Tesis se plantea dos objetivos principales: 1. Investigar el fenotipo carS mediante el análisis de sus efectos sobre la producción de metabolitos secundarios y sobre el transcriptoma. Para ello se emplearán varios mutantes de fenotipo similar, gener

The fungus Fusarium fujikuroi ( Gibberella fujikuroi MP-C) produces metabolites of biotechnological interest, such as gibberellins, bikaverins, and carotenoids. Gibberellin and bikaverin productions are induced upon nitrogen exhaustion, while carotenoid accumulation is stimulated by light. We evaluated the effect of nitrogen availability on...

Many fungi of the genus Fusarium stand out for the complexity of their secondary metabolism. Individual species may differ in their metabolic capacities, but they usually share the ability to synthesize carotenoids, a family of hydrophobic terpenoid pigments widely distributed in nature. Early studies on carotenoid biosynthesis in Fusarium...
