Abstract excerpt

The areA gene of filamentous fungi encodes a positive-acting transcriptional factor required for the expression of genes involved in the utilisation of nitrogen sources other than ammonium and glutamine. In Aspergillus niger we have isolated three UV-induced areA mutants and constructed a well-defined disruption allele of the areA gene. The areA gene was genetically localised on Linkage Group III, 3.6 map units...
