Abstract

Recombinant DNA technology enables the creation of well-defined alterations in the genetic material of an organism. Methods to manipulate recombinant DNA in the filamentous fungi (a group of microorganisms that includes species of academic as well as commercial interest) have recently been developed. This has been the result of adaptation of procedures successfully employed in the manipulation of other microorganisms. There are a number of similarities in the behavior of recombinant DNA in different fungi, but a number of differences have also been observed between the filamentous and the nonfilamentous fungi. Such differences include the ability to identify DNA replication origins and the host range of expression of fungal genes.
