Abstract

Aspergillus tubingensis NBRC 31125 is a prolific producer of endo-xylanase and β-xylosidase. However, the presence of glucose in the medium causes carbon catabolite repression (CCR) which inhibits the secretion of those enzymes. CCR in Aspergillus has been investigated in several ways. However, there are currently not any molecular data are available regarding the CCR of A. tubingensis in the xylan and glucose medium. Therefore, this research focuses on this aspect. The RNA of the strain was extracted in repressive condition, followed by sequencing using the Illumina NextSeq550 platform and reference assembly. The RNA-seq raw reads were submitted to the NCBI website's Sequence Read Archive database under the accession numbers SRR15412365 and SRR15412366, respectively. The data provide information for differentiating the response of xylanase and other enzymes production with and without glucose addition. The transcriptomics data can also be used to understand the xylan metabolism and CCR in Aspergillus.
