AbstractThe conditions for protoplast isolation and regeneration fromTrichoderma viridewere studied. Protoplasts were optimally isolated when mycelia ofT. viridethat had been cultured for 24 h were digested with 4 mg/ml Glucanex in phosphate buffer (pH 6.98) for 4 h at 30°C, resulting in a protoplast yield of 4.7×107cfu/mg. The maximum regeneration ratio (14.5%) was obtained in mycelia culture medium containing 0.3 mol/l KCl and 0.3 mol/l inositol. In addition, a plasmid pCSSNCC1 carrying a hygromycin resistance gene and an elicitor-producing gene was transformed intoT. virideprotoplasts, with an efficiency of 1–2 transformants/μg DNA. The hygromycin-resistant transformants were determined by PCR and the elicitor protein was detected by ELISA. The results indicate that the elicitor protein was expressed stably inT. viride.

The transformation conditions of the protoplasts from Trichoderma viride mediated by restriction enzyme were studied in this paper. The optimum generation conditions of protoplasts were as followed: 8 mg/ml glucanex was added into the phosphate buffer (pH 6.98), the mycelial that cultured for 24 hr was hydrolyzed for 4 hr at 30°C under 40 r/min shaking speed. The protoplast yield was 4.7×107 cfu/mg. The regeneneration rate of protoplast was 14.5% on CM medium contained 0.3 mol/L KCl and 0.3 mol/L Inositol. Transformants were obtained by transfering hygromycin B resistance gene into T. viride by restriction enzyme mediated integration (REMI), The preliminary identification of the transformants indicated that the exogenous gene had been integrated into T. viride genome.

Abstract Two biotypes (A and B) of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides infect the tropical legumes Stylosanthes spp. in Australia. These biotypes are asexual and vegetatively incompatible. However, field isolates of biotype B carrying a supernumerary 2-Mb chromosome, thought to originate from biotype A, have been reported previously. We tested the hypothesis that the 2-Mb chromosome could be transferred from biotype A to biotype B under laboratory conditions. Selectable marker genes conferring resistance to hygromycin and phleomycin were introduced into isolates of biotypes A and B, respectively. A transformant of biotype A, with the hygromycin resistance gene integrated on the 2-Mb chromosome, was cocultivated with phleomycin-resistant transformants of biotype B. Double antibiotic-resistant colonies were obtained from conidia of these mixed cultures at a frequency of approximately 10-7. Molecular analysis using RFLPs, RAPDs, and electrophoretic karyotypes showed that these colonies contained the 2-Mb chromosome in a biotype B genetic background. In contrast, no double antibiotic colonies developed from conidia obtained from mixed cultures of phleomycin-resistant transformants of biotype B with biotype A transformants carrying the hygromycin resistance gene integrated in chromosomes >2 Mb in size. The results demonstrated that the 2-Mb chromosome was selectively transferred from biotype A to biotype B. The horizontal transfer of specific chromosomes across vegetative incompatibility barriers may explain the origin of supernumerary chromosomes in fungi.
