  • Homologous Amds Genes as Selectable Marker
    Publication number: 20080070277
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel functional amdS genes from A. niger that can be used as dominant and bi-directional selection marker gene in the transformation of organisms. The present invention further relates to the production of a compound of interest in a fungal host cell transformed with the amdS genes of the invention. Preferred fungal host cells are filamentous fungal cells. The amdS genes of the invention provide means for identification of functional homologues in other Aspergillus species.

  • Method for Production of a Compound in a Eukaryotic Cell
    Publication number: 20080026421
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a eukaryotic cell containing peroxisomes that are capable to fuse with a membrane-structure of the cell involved in the secretory pathway of the cell. In this way, the eukaryotic cell is able to release the peroxisomal content outside the cell. The invention also relates to a method for production of a compound of interest in said eukaryotic cell wherein said compound of interest is present in the peroxisome of the cell. Said compound of interest will accumulate in the peroxisome by a signal promoting peroxisome localisation. Preferred host cells are filamentous fungal cells.
