| Abstract: | A wild isolate of Penicillium canescens was subjected to mutagenesis, and 150 chlorate-resistant mutants were isolated and classified in respect of their ability to utilize various nitrogen sources. Strains supposedly deficient in nitrate reductase have been transformed with the nitrate-reductase gene from Aspergillus niger. Transformation probably occurred by non-homologous integration of the transforming vector into the chromosome. Co-transformation with the AMA1 replicating element from A. nidulans enhanced transformation frequency up to 2000-fold, and was shown to result in autonomous maintenance of replicating concatenates, one of which was re-isolated by transformation of E. coli. |
