Obtenção de mutantes de Aspergillus carbonarius via transformação genética mediada por Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Abstract: ResumoAspergillus carbonarius é um potente produtor de ocratoxina A, uma toxina que apresenta efeitos nefrotóxico e carcinogênico. O conhecimento de genes envolvidos em sua biossíntese pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento de medidas de controle. O método de transformação genética mediado por Agrobacterium tumefaciens tem sido demonstrado como uma importante ferramenta para a obtenção de mutantes insercionais visando à caracterização de novos genes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi adequar o método de transforma… Show more

“…The observed mitotic stability (95%) of these transformants was high, and they retained the ability to grow on hygromycin B after five generations on non-selective medium, similar to the mitotically stable transformants of other species of fungi transformed via A. tumefaciens (Fitzgerald et al, 2003;Ando et al, 2009;Figueiredo et al, 2010). The expression of the hygromycin B resistance gene was confirmed by PCR in all the transformants and was performed as described in Lunardi et al (2006).…”

“…Bundock et al (1995) firstly described the protocols for the transference of T-DNA into fungi cells. Only recently, the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (AMT) protocol was adapted to transform A. carbonarius and used for generating insertional mutants Lunardi et al, 2006). In this contribution, we verified the integration of T-DNA in one A. carbonarius ochratoxindefective mutant obtained by AMT, and identified a gene which was probably involved in the regulation of OTA biosynthesis.…”

“…The mutant T188 was obtained by using Agrobactrium-mediated transformation approach by Lunardi et al (2006). This mutant produces significantly lower amounts of OTA than the wild type strain after growing for four days on YES medium.…”
