Abstract: Nucleic acid molecules encoding fungal ?-glucuronidases are provided. Gene products, expression vectors and host cells suitable for expressing ?-glucuronidase are also provided. In addition, uses of the ?-glucuronidase as a visual and as a selectable marker for transformation are also described.
Abstract: Clones containing a sequence encoding a glucuronide repressor are described. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of a repressor (gusR) are presented. A glucuronide repressor is used to control expression of a transgene, detect glucuronides in a sample, and isolate glucuronides from a sample, among other uses.
