Abstract excerpt

We report the isolation of a pgk- mutant strain of Aspergillus nidulans by means of a gene disruption strategy, and demonstrate that the pgk gene is located on chromosome VIII. The pgk- mutant conidiates poorly, will only grow on media supplemented with both a glycolytic and a gluconeogenic carbo...
