Abstract excerpt
Mucor miehei transformants resistant to geneticin have been obtained by treatment of protoplasts with different plasmids and by Agrobacterium-mediated DNA transfer. All transformants exhibited a very unstable phenotype whose maintenance required continuous selective pressure. Molecular analysis of transformants showed that the plasmid DNA was extensively modified and maintained in very low amount. Our results...
