Abstract

|
The nuclear transfer technique was employed to obtain intraspecific hybrids in Aspergillus nidulans. Nuclei isolated from either a wild type or an auxotrophic mutant strain (FGSC 475) were transferred into the protoplasts of a recipient strain (FGSC 514). The frequency of hybrid formation (4.8% and 10.1%, respectively) by nuclear transfer was higher than the frequency (0.6%) by protoplast fusion. Furthermore, most of the hybrids formed showed increased activity of some components of cellulase system, xylanase system, and mannanase. The hybrids were analyzed to be either diploid or aneuploid. These results suggest that nuclear transfer technique is more efficient in the formation of intraspecific hybrids than protoplast fusion method and is useful for the improvement of Aspergillus strains.
