Strain improvement of Penicillium chrysogenum by recombinant DNA techniques

J Biotechnol. 1991 Jan;17(1):81-90. doi: 10.1016/0168-1656(91)90028-t.

Abstract

The penDE gene from Penicillium chrysogenum has been isolated; the gene is located in close vicinity of the pcbC gene. Amplification of the pcbC-penDE gene cluster in Penicillium chrysogenum Wis54-1255 leads to a significant increase in penicillin production. In selected transformants an increase of up to 40% is observed.
