How to Use Fluffy Testers for Determining Mating Type and for Other Applications
While mat A and mat a wild types or other fertile strains of known mating type can be used to determine the mating type of segregants or newly acquired strains, the highly fertile aconidiate mutant fluffy (fl) is superior to wild type when used as the female parent in tests. fluffy strains form abundant perithecia more quickly and the perithecia are more readily observed, especially in small sl...
متن کاملFungal mating-type loci
Fungi form one of the most ubiquitous and successful kingdoms of life on Earth. There are more than 100,000 known species of fungi, divided into four phyla — ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, zygomycetes and chytrids — and these have populated a vast array of biological niches, including those that are pathogens of animals (including humans and insects), plants and even other microorganisms. The mor...
متن کاملYeast Mating Type
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, baker’s yeast, can exist in either a haploid (1n) or a diploid (2n) state. Haploids express one of two mating types, a or a (alpha). Haploids of either mating type are capable of mating with haploids of the opposite mating type in response to the action of mating pheromones. Mating results in fusion of haploid cells, forming an a/a diploid, which is no longer capable o...
متن کاملA MAT1–2 wild-type strain from Penicillium chrysogenum: functional mating-type locus characterization, genome sequencing and mating with an industrial penicillin-producing strain
In heterothallic ascomycetes, mating is controlled by two nonallelic idiomorphs that determine the 'sex' of the corresponding strains. We recently discovered mating-type loci and a sexual life cycle in the penicillin-producing fungus, Penicillium chrysogenum. All industrial penicillin production strains worldwide are derived from a MAT1-1 isolate. No MAT1-2 strain has been investigated in detai...
متن کاملMating type in filamentous fungi.
Mating type genes regulate sexual compatibility and sexual reproduction in fungi. This review focuses on recent molecular analyses of well-characterized mating systems from representative ascomycete (Neurospora crassa, Podospora anserina) and basidiomycete (Ustilago maydis, Coprinus cinereus, Schizophyllum commune) fungi. These mating systems include many conserved components, such as gene regu...
