Heterologous transformation of Cochliobolus lunatus.
A DNA mediated transformation system has been developed for the filamentous fungus Cochliobolus lunatus. Transformants were obtained by using plasmid pAN 7-1 carrying the Escherichia coli hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene (hph) fused to an Aspergillus nidulans promoter. The integration of plasmid pAN 7-1 into the fungal genome altered the ability of this microorganism to transform progesterone.
