Abstract excerpt
A genomic DNA library prepared from a benomyl resistant strain of Aspergillus parasiticus was screened with a Neurospora crassa beta-tubulin gene probe. A unique A. parasiticus genomic DNA fragment, thought to carry a mutant beta-tubulin gene (benr), was isolated. Two plasmids, pYT1 and pYTPYRG, carrying the putative benr gene or benr plus a second selectable marker (pyrG), respectively, were used to transform a...
