Characterization of a glycerol kinase mutant of Aspergillus niger.

Journal of general microbiology - 1 Jul 1990

Witteveen C F, van de Vondervoort P, Dijkema C, Swart K, Visser J

Abstract excerpt

A glycerol-kinase-deficient mutant of Aspergillus niger was isolated. Genetic analysis revealed that the mutation is located on linkage group VI. The phenotype of this mutant differed from that of a glycerol kinase mutant of Aspergillus nidulans in its ability to utilize dihydroxyacetone (DHA). The weak growth on glycerol of the A. niger glycerol kinase mutant showed that glycerol phosphorylation is an important...
