Alpha-glucan acting enzymes in Aspergillus niger : diversity in enzymatic activities and functions

Fungi are eukaryotic organisms, characteristically highly variable in size, shape and natural habitat. Within the phylum of ascomycete fungi, the aspergilli form a well studied genus with more than 250 separate species. Some of these, such as Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus, are known to be human pathogens. The filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger is a common soil fungus with many industrial applications. It produces a large variety of enzymes with applications in the food and paper industry. This mould, named after the black appearance of its sporulating colonies, is the organism studied in this thesis.
