Atypical interactions between thn and wild-type mycelia of Schizophyllum commune

The thn (thin) mutant strain of Schizophyllum commune, which normally lacks aerial mycelium, produced excessive aerial hyphae when surrounded by multiple wild-type (wt) colonies. When thn and wt mycelia were grown together, the radial growth rate of the thn strain was increased, whereas the wt strain was clearly expressed in its growth,...

Expression of heterologous genes in Schizophyllum commune is often hampered by the formation of truncated transcripts

GPD regulatory sequences were used to express a phleomycin resistance gene (Sh ble) in Schizophyllum commune, resulting in high numbers of phleomycin-resistant transformants. Attempts to express heterologous genes coding for hygromycin B phosphotransferase (hph), aminoglycoside phosphotransferase (apt), β-glucuronidase (uidA) and β-galactosidase...
