    Comparison between polyethylene glycol- and polyethylenimine-mediated transformation of Aspergillus nidulans

    Genetic transformation of many filamentous fungi is carried out by a protocol that utilizes polyethylene glycol (PEG) and calcium ion (Ca2+). This method has remained practically unchanged for more than 20 years,...

    Molecular Characterization of Japanese Sillago Vitellogenin and Changes in Its Expression Levels on Exposure to 17β-Estradiol and 4-tert-Octylphenol

    We cloned a full-length cDNA encoding vitellogenin (VTG) from a marine teleost, the Japanese sillago Sillago japonica. The cloned sillago VTG contained signal peptide, lipovitellin heavy chain, phosvitin, lipovit...

    Suppression of tandem-multimer formation during genetic transformation of the mycotoxin-producing fungus Penicillium paxilli by disrupting an orthologue of Aspergillus nidulans uvsC

    An orthologue of Aspergillus nidulans uvsC and Saccharomyces cerevisiae RAD51 was cloned from the filamentous fungus, Penicillium paxilli. A mutation in uvsC causes UV sensitivity during germination. The product ...

    Paxilline-negative mutants of Penicillium paxilli generated by heterologous and homologous plasmid integration

    Using a monoclonal antibody based ELISA, 600 pAN7-1 plasmid-tagged mutants of Penicillium paxilli were screened for paxilline accumulation and one paxilline-negative mutant, YI-20, was identified. A molecular an...

    Hyphal anastomosis and complementary growth of fused cells inAlternaria alternata

    Hyphal anastomosis and complementary growth of fused cells inAlternaria alternata were investigated. Sixty-four experimental isolates were divided into anastomosis-positive (A+) and anastomosis-negative (A) grou...

    Heterologous and homologous plasmid integration at a spore-pigment locus in Penicillium paxilli generates large deletions

    Mutations in a spore pigmentation locus (brs; brown spore) in Penicillium paxilli were isolated at a relatively-high frequency (0.17%) following integrative transformation of the hygromycin-resistance plasmid pAN...

    Integrative transformation of the mycotoxin-producing fungus, Penicillium paxilli

    A high frequency transformation system has been developed for Penicillium paxilli using pAN7-1. Up to 44% of the primary transformants were heterokaryons. Loss of hygromycin resistance was observed in primary tra...
