Understanding and controlling filamentous growth of fungal cell factories: novel tools and opportunities for targeted morphology engineering

Abstract Filamentous fungal cell factories are efficient producers of platform chemicals, proteins, enzymes and natural products. Stirred-tank bioreactors up to a scale of several hundred m³ are commonly used for their cultivation. Fungal hyphae self-assemble into various cellular macromorphologies...
