Manipulation of genes involved in signal transduction to control fungal morphology during fermentation and production

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides a microbial genomic engineering method and system for transforming, screening, and selecting filamentous fungal cells that have altered morphology and/or growth under specific growth conditions. The method and system utilize high-throughput (HTP) methods to produce filamentous fungal production strains with a desired morphological phenotype.
