Abstract

Few selective marker genes are used in the genetic operation of Aspergillus niger. However, genetic modification often involves the knockout or expression of many genes, and the limited selective marker genes are difficult to meet the needs. In this study, genetic transformation system was constructed using pyrG as selective marker in A. niger and the red fluorescent protein rfp in A. niger was expressed using this system. First, the pyrG gene was knocked out by targeted gene replacement using Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation. The stable genetic uridine/uracil auxotrophic strain A. niger ng-1 was obtained on medium containing 5-fluoroorotic acid and uridine/uracil. Then we constructed the rfp gene-expression plasmid which contained the rfp gene driven by the glyceraldehyde triphosphate dehydrogenase promoter gpdA and the selective marker pyrG. The plasmid was transferred to A. tumefaciens AGL1 and infected the A. niger ng-1, so as to obtain rfp gene-expression A. niger strains. This work showed that the genetic transformation system using the pyrG as a selective marker is effective and feasible in A. niger.
