We have cloned a mutant oligomycin resistance allele of the mitochondrial ATP synthase subunit 9 gene from the filamentous fungus Penicillium chrysogenum. The gene was isolated using the equivalent gene from Aspergillus nidulans as a hybridisation probe. Using the cloned gene it is possible to selec

β¦ Synopsis
The Aspergillus nidulans acetamidase gene (amdS) has been used to transform Penicillium chrysogenum at low frequency. Several transformants were tested and shown to be mitotically stable. Southern blot analysis indicated that transforming DNA had integrated into the chromosomal DNA, possibly at multiple sites.

Tobacco cells are sensitive to bleomycin and phleomycin. The Tn5 and the Streptoalloteichus hindustanus (Sh) bleomycin resistance ('Ble') genes conferring resistance to these antibiotics have each been inserted into two plant expression vectors. They are flanked by the nopaline synthase (nos) or the
