Abstract excerpt
Uridine auxotrophs of the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei have been selected using a positive screening procedure with 5-fluoro orotate. Mutants deficient for the orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase gene (ura3 mutants) and for the orotate phosphoribosyl transferase gene (ura5 mutants) have been characterized. The homologous ura3 and ura5 genes have been isolated and used to transform the auxotrophic...
