Abstract excerpt
We have constructed an Aspergillus niger cDNA library with a yeast expression vector. The library DNA complemented a leucine auxotroph of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain BWG1-7a) at a frequency of 4x10(-4). Plasmids rescued from the yeast prototrophs also complemented Escherichia coli (strain MC1066) deficient in leucine biosynthesis. Sequence determination of the rescued plasmids revealed two genes for...
