Transformation of Aspergillus parasiticus with a homologous gene (pyrG) involved in pyrimidine biosynthesis.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Nov 1990

Skory C D, Horng J S, Pestka J J, Linz J E

Abstract excerpt

The lack of efficient transformation methods for aflatoxigenic Aspergillus parasiticus has been a major constraint for the study of aflatoxin biosynthesis at the genetic level. A transformation system with efficiencies of 30 to 50 stable transformants per microgram of DNA was developed for A. parasiticus by using the homologous pyrG gene. The pyrG gene from A. parasiticus was isolated by in situ plaque...
