Abstract excerpt
The chsB gene from Aspergillus nidulans encodes a class III chitin synthase, an enzyme class found in filamentous fungi but not in yeast-like organisms. Using a novel method, we isolated haploid segregants carrying a disrupted chsB allele from heterozygous diploid disruptants. The haploid disruptants grow as minute colonies that do not conidiate. Hyphae from the disruptants have enlarged tips, a high degree of...
