Abstract excerpt
We disrupted the Aspergillus niger gene argB, encoding ornithine transcarbamylase. Full characterisation of the argB deletion was performed by Southern blot analysis, growth tests and by means of mitotic recombination, complementation and transformation. The argB locus was found to be physically removed, thus creating an auxotrophic mutation. The latter can be supplemented by addition of arginine into the culture...
