Transposon insertion mutation of Antarctic psychrotrophic fungus for red pigment production adaptive to normal temperature.
Article in Journal of industrial microbiology & biotechnology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Polar regions are rich in microbial and product resources. Geomyces sp. WNF-15A is an Antarctic psy chrotrophic filamentous fungus producing high quality red pigment with potential for industrial use. However, efficient biosynthesis of red pigment can only realize at low temperature, which brings difficult control and high cost for the large-scale fermentation. This study aims to develop transposon insertion mutation method to improve cell growth and red pigment production adaptive to normal temperature. Genetic manipulation system of this fungus was firstly developed by antibiotic marker screening, protoplast preparation and transformation optimization, by which transformation efficiency of ∼50% was finally achieved. Then transposable insertion systems were established using Helitron, Fot1, and Impala transposons. The transposition efficiency reached 11.9%, 9.4%, and 4.6%, respectively. Mutant MP1 achieved the highest red pigment production (OD520 of 39) at 14°C, which was 40% higher than the wild-type strain. Mutant MP14 reached a maximum red pigment production (OD520 of 14.8) at 20°C, which was about twofold of the wild-type strain. Mutants MP2 and MP10 broke the repression mechanism of red pigment biosynthesis in the wild-type and allowed production at 25°C. For cell growth, eight mutants grew remarkably better (12%∼30% biomass higher) than the wild-type at 25°C. This study established an efficient genetic manipulation and transposon insertion mutation platform for polar filamentous fungus. It provides reference for genetic breeding of psychrotrophic fungi from polar and other regions.
