Construction of transformation system in Penicillium purpurogenum

摘要

Penicillium purpurogenum attracts attention in the food industry and biomass degradation. We expressed green fluorescent protein (GFP) with pBPE, a novel vector, and constructed a transformation system for P. purpurogenum. The accumulation of GFP was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy. In future, this system may prove useful for the genetic modification of P. purpurogenum. (C) 2014, The Society for Biotechnology, Japan. All rights reserved.
