Abstract
Genomic fragments, homologous to chicken A1(1) collagen cDNA encoding triple-helical domain, were revealed by Southern analysis in various fungi. Such a genomic fragment from Candida utilis was cloned and sequenced. Analysis of the obtained DNA sequence revealed the 119 bp segment, which has possibly originated from the 54bp module common for the fibrillar collagen genes of higher eukaryotes.
