✦ Synopsis
The sequence of four Aspergillus nidulans 5S rRNA genes and of two pseudogenes has been determined. A conserved sequence about 100 bp upstream of the 5S rRNA coding sequences has been found in three genes and one pseudogene. The two pseudogenes correspond to the 5' half of the 5S rRNA coding sequence and their 3' flanking sequences which are not homologous to 5S rRNA are strongly conserved.

Genes coding for 5S rRNA were found to be dispersed in the Aspergillus nidulans genome. Three different recombinant plasmids hybridizing to 5S rRNA were isolated and their restriction enzyme maps were established.
A detailed map of the 32 kb mitochondrial genome of Aspergillus nidulans has been obtained by locating the cleavage sites for restriction endonucleases Pst I, Bam H I, Hha I, Pvu II, Hpa II and Hae III relative to the previously determined sites for Eco R I, Hind II and Hind III. The genes for the s
Three extranuclear mitochondrial mutations in Aspergillus nidulans, (oliA1), (camA1) and (cs67), were used as markers in sexual crosses to provide information on the frequencies of transmission and recombination of the mitochondrial genome. Any individual perithecium contained ascospores of only one
