Figure 3From: Molecular characterization of a fungal gene paralogue of the penicillin penDE gene of Penicillium chrysogenumCharacterization and expression of the ial gene and in vivo activity of the IAL in P. chrysogenum. (A) Southern blotting carried out with genomic DNA extracted from the npe-10-AB·C and Wis54-1255 strains and digested with Hind III. The ial gene was used as probe. (B) HPLC analysis confirming the production of IPN by the npe10-AB·C strain. (C) Chromatogram showing the lack of 6-APA production in the npe10-AB·C strain. (D) Chromatogram showing the lack of benzylpenicillin production in the npe10-AB·C strain. (E) Northern blot analysis of the ial gene expression in npe-10-AB·C and Wis54-1255 strains. Expression of the β-actin gene was used as positive control.Back to article page
