RESUMO

Assessment of fungal diversity in environmental samples is currently a challenge. Several recently developed molecular methods offer new avenues for determining the presence and diversity of fungi in complex microbial communities. Terminal restriction fragment (TRF) pattern analysis was tested as a method for assessing the fungal molecular diversity of a terrestrial microbial community. Community DNA was isolated from sand samples taken from a pilot-scale petroleum-contaminated land treatment unit. PCR amplification was carried out using primers, one of which was fluorescently labeled, designed to hybridize to conserved sequences in the fungal ribosomal small subunit (18S) or the internal transcribed spacer ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS) ribosomal region. Amplicons were then digested separately with HpaII or HaeIII; fluorescently labeled TRFs were detected by capillary gel electrophoresis. ITS region TRF patterns were predicted and observed to generate a greater richness than 18S TRF patterns. Unique TRF patterns were also observed for each community examined. Finally, the ITS region showed a higher degree of specificity in matching observed TRF profiles to those generated from GenBank sequence data for species identification. These data suggest that ITS rDNA TRF pattern analysis has great potential as a rapid and specific method for fungal community analysis and species identification.

RESUMO

The hemA gene encoding 5-aminolevulinate synthase, the first enzyme in heme biosynthesis, was cloned from Aspergillus oryzae and evaluated as a selectable marker for the transformation of filamentous fungi. Deletion of the hemA gene resulted in a lethal phenotype that could be rescued either by the supplementation of culture media with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) or by transformation with the wild-type hemA gene, but not by growth on rich media, nor by the addition of exogenous heme. Transformation of a hemA deletion strain with the hemA gene linked to a lipase expression cassette yielded ALA prototrophs expressing lipase. The hemA gene can therefore be used as a selectable marker for the transformation of A. oryzae.

RESUMO

The rapid alkaline transfer of high molecular weight DNA from agarose gels to nylon membranes has greatly decreased the time required for setup of Southern transfers. This technique has been used to resolve genomic DNA greater than 1000 base pairs by conventional electrophoresis on 1% agarose gels followed by alkaline transfer to nylon membrane. Now we report that this rapid alkaline method can be used for the transfer of low molecular weight DNA fragments (10 to 1000 base pairs) from NuSieve GTG agarose gels to nylon membrane.
