The filamentous fungus
Aspergillus oryzae has been widely used for centuries in the production of the traditional Japanese fermented foods such as sake (rice wine), shoyu (soy sauce), and miso (soybean paste). The
Aspergillus oryzae genome is highly enriched for genes involved in metabolism; these comprise more than 6 Mb of the genome

In particular, it can be used for production of enzymes and other proteins of eukaryotic origin that cannot be produced with E. coli.The Aspergillus oryzae haploid genome is 37 Mb, organized into eight chromosomes.
