Abstract excerpt
Uracil auxotrophs of Phanerochaete chrysosporium were isolated using 5-fluoroorotate resistance as a selection scheme. The ura3 auxotrophs deficient in orotidylate decarboxylase and ura5 auxotrophs deficient in orotate phosphoribosyl transferase were characterized by enzyme assays and complementation tests. The ura5 auxotrophs were transformed to prototrophy with the ura5 gene from the ascomycete Podospora...
