Abstract: Aspergillus luchuensis NBRC4314 recently underwent genome sequencing. We have not used the frequently used protoplast-polyethylene glycol (PEG) method but have used agrobacterium-mediated transformation (AMT) to genetically engineer this strain because it was difficult to generate… read more here.
