High-throughput genotyping of filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae based on colony direct polymerase chain reaction

J Biosci Bioeng. 2006 Dec;102(6):572-4. doi: 10.1263/jbb.102.572.

Abstract

High-throughput genotyping of Aspergillus oryzae was achieved using an FTA card for the extraction of a genomic DNA template for polymerase chain reaction from a fungal colony growing on an agar plate. This method was then applied to detect other fungal species from agar slants and food materials. This method offers a convenient tool for the genotyping of filamentous fungi without using an organic solvent or specialized equipment.
