(Submitter supplied) Soil dwelling Aspergillus fungi possess the versatile metabolic capability to utilize complex organic compounds which are toxic to humans, yet the mechanisms they employ remain largely unknown. Benzo(a)pyrene is a common carcinogenic contaminant, posing a significant concern for human health. Here, we report that Aspergillus fungi can degrade benzo(a)pyrene effectively. In Aspergillus nidulans, exposure to benzo(a)pyrene results in transcriptomic and metabolic changes associated with cellular growth and energy generation, implying that the fungus utilizes benzo(a)pyrene as a food. more...
