Abstract excerpt
Filamentous fungi from the marine environment have shown great potential as cell factories for the production of pharmacologically active metabolites, but extremely low frequency of homologous recombination brings difficulty to further molecular biology studies. To bypass this problem and develop a highly efficient gene targeting system in marine-derived filamentous fungus Aspergillus glaucus, LigD, a homolog of...
