Within the last few years, transcriptomic data for other fungal species have become available, although in most cases little is known about the molecular basis controlling their adaptive response. The objective of this work is to provide an overview on how different fungi remodel their gene expression in response to environmental alkalinization, highlighting the similitudes and differences among them. Microbial stress-responsive promoters have been considered useful tools for biotechnological applications, such as expression of recombinant proteins of industrial interest. Recent work, emphasizing the usefulness of alkaline pH-inducible promoters for heterologous protein production, will also be discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms262311450","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,26]],"date-time":"2025-11-26T14:39:43Z","timestamp":1764167983000},"page":"11450","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Transcriptional Responses to Alkaline pH Across Fungi: Common and Differential Features, and Biotechnological Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6774-2987","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joaqu\u00edn","family":"Ari\u00f1o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut de Biotecnologia i Biomedicina, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Cerdanyola del Vall\u00e8s, Spain"},{"name":"Departament de Bioqu\u00edmica i Biologia Molecular, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Cerdanyola del Vall\u00e8s, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"45","article-title":"Regulation of Penicillin Biosynthesis in Filamentous Fungi","volume":"88","author":"Brakhage","year":"2004","journal-title":"Adv.
