Abstract
The heterologous expression in Aspergillus nidulans of a gene involved in tryptophan biosynthesis from Penicillium chrysogenum is described. With the chimeric plasmid pPC-31, which carries the cloned trpC gene, approximately 10-40 "stable" transformants per microgram of DNA were obtained, with selection for complementation of the mutant allele. This frequency was increased 10-fold by the insertion of the ans1 fragment into the transformation vector. Southern hybridization analysis revealed that transformation occurred as a consequence of the integration of vector sequences into the host chromosome at a variety of sites within the genome.
