A color-selectable and site-specific integrative transformation system for gene expression studies in the dematiaceous fungus Wangiella (Exophiala) dermatitidis.

Current genetics - 1 Oct 1999

Abstract excerpt

To explore potential virulence factors in the dematiaceous (melanized) fungus Wangiella dermatitidis, we established a gene expression system with properties of homologous transformation and color identification. Using a polyketide synthase gene (WdPKS1) fragment for targeting, we found that 52% of transformants became albinos easily distinguishable from nonspecific transformants. Southern analysis confirmed that...
