Stable and reproducible homologous recombination enables CRISPR-based engineering in the fungus Rhizopus microsporus
1 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
Mucormycosis is a lethal and emerging disease that has lacked a genetic model fulfilling both high virulence and the possibility of performing stable and reproducible gene manipulation by homologous recombination (HR). Here, we developed a new methodology to successfully perform HR in Rhizopus microsporus. We isolated an uracil auxotrophic recipient strain and optimized the critical steps in the genetic...
