Abstract
Galactose catabolism in Aspergillus nidulans is regulated by at least two regulators, GalR and GalX. In Aspergillus niger only GalX is present, and its role in d-galactose catabolism in this fungus was investigated. Phenotypic and gene expression analysis of a wild type and a galX disruptant revealed that GalX regulates the d-galactose oxido-reductive pathway, but not the Leloir pathway in A. niger.
► Aspergillus niger only contains one of the two galactose regulators previously identified in Aspergillus nidulans. ► A. niger GalX does not regulate the Leloir pathway. ► A. niger GalX controls the d-galactose catabolic oxido-reductive pathway.
