Abstract
Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 is a hyper lignin-degrading basidiomycete possessing greater ligninolytic selectivity than either P. chrysosporium or Trametes versicolor. To construct a gene transformation system for P. sordida YK-624, uracil auxotrophic mutants were generated using a combination of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and 5-fluoroorotate resistance as a selection scheme. An uracil auxotrophic strain (UV-64) was transformed into a uracil prototroph using the marker plasmid pPsURA5 containing the orotate phosphoribosyltransferase gene from P. sordida YK-624. This system generated approximately 50 stable transformants using 2 × 107 protoplasts. Southern blot analysis demonstrated that the transformed pPsURA5 was ectopically integrated into the chromosomal DNA of all transformants. The enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene was also introduced into UV-64. The transformed EGFP was expressed in the co-transformants driven by P. sordida glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene promoter and terminator regions.
