Abstract excerpt
We have constructed a dominant selectable marker, PHT1, for transformation of the basidiomycete Coprinus cinereus. PHT1 consists of a bacterial hygromycin B resistance gene fused to the promoter and terminator regions of the C. cinereus beta-tubulin gene. We found in transformation experiments that PHT1 confers hygromycin B resistance to all strains of C. cinereus tested, that it integrates without apparent bias...
