Abstract excerpt
The filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans is an obligate aerobe, which is capable of anaerobic survival, but not anaerobic growth. Since cytochrome c forms an essential part of the oxidative respiratory pathway it was expected that mutants lacking this component would be non-viable. Gene replacement of one homologue of the cycA (cytochrome c) gene was carried out in a diploid strain. Benomyl-induced...
