title: Cloning gene ura5 for the orotidylic acid pyrophosphorylase of the filamentous fungus Podospora anserina: transformation of protoplasts.
abstract: From a genomic library of the filamentous fungus Podospora anserina, we have cloned a 4.9-kb fragment which complements an Escherichia coli mutant strain deficient for orotidylic acid pyrophosphorylase (pyrE gene). The recombinant plasmid pPAura5 also transforms to prototrophy a mutant strain of P. anserina carrying a mutation in the ura5 gene and lacking OMPppase activity.
