Abstract excerpt
The fungus Aspergillus nidulans (Emericella nidulans) was used as a genetic model for the identification of genes required for efficient accumulation of sterigmatocystin (ST). The required gene for sterigmatocystin expression was stc, which is an intermediate penultimate product in the aflatoxin biosynthetic pathway. Genetic analysis included studies of the sexual and parasexual cycles. The allelic segregation...
