Emericella nidulans |
One of many species of filamentous fungi in the phylum Ascomycota, Aspergillus nidulans has been an important research organism for studying eukaryotic cell biology[1] as well as Aspergillus metabolism[2] for over 50 years[3]
[edit] Genome
The genome of A. nidulans was published in December 2005. [4] It is 30 million base pairs in size and is predicted to contain around 9,500 protein-coding genes.
