Transformation of Penicillium nalgiovense with the amdS gene of Aspergillus nidulans

Summary Penicillium nalgiovense was transformed with the amdS gene from Aspergillus nidulans as a selectable marker. The vector apparently integrated at multiple sites into the chromosomes of the transformants, which were mitotically stable. A transformation efficiency of 12 transformants/g vector DNA was achieved when the expression phase was prolonged to 8 h.
