چکیده
Trichoderma longibrachiatum IMI061758 possesses a powerful cellulose enzyme complex composed by different cellobiohydrolase, endoglucanase and /3-glucosidase activities. Recently we have cloned the T. longibrachiatum egll gene encoding a /S-{l,4)-endoglucanase activity (1). From an industrial point of view, we are interested in the design of strains which have an increased egll gene dosage. To construct these strains, we have developed an integrative transformation system for T. longibrachiatum (2), but the transformants are mitotically unstable. To solve this problem, one of the strategies could be the development of new vectors in which a repetitive sequence of the fungal genome has been included which favours the stability of the transformants. In this report we present the cloning and sequencing of a T. longibrachiatum DNA fragment encoding part of the ribosomal repeat unit. Due to the taxonomical difficulties related to the Trichoderma group (3), this sequence could be also of interest for the classification of this fungal species. Amplification of the 5.8S rRNA gene and the noncoding adjacent regions was accomplished by PCR using the ITS1 and ITS4 primers described in (4). The amplicon was cloned in both orientations into the pCRTM1000 vector (Invitrogen, San Diego CA), and the resulting plasmids were used to construct a restriction map of the insert. Series of nested deletions were obtained by the exonuclease HI-SI nuclease digestion method, and selected deletion mutants or directed subcloned fragments were used as templates for sequencing. The nucleotide sequence (Figure 1) was determined in both strands using the dideoxynucleotide chain termination method. All the restriction sites used for subcloning were sequenced through. The 5.8S rRNA encoding gene (nt 234 to 379) was located by its highly similarity with other filamentous fungal 5.8S rRNA genes. It shows minor changes with respect to the Acremonium chrysogenum, Fusarium sambucinum or Neurospora crassa genes (8, 4 and 5 nt changes respectively). With respect to the noncoding regions, only minor stretches of identity could be detected, particularly in the case of the F.sambucinum sequences. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The cDNA from the mycoparasitic fungus Trichoderma atroviride PTCC5220 encoding a 42 kDa chitinase (Chit42) was isolated. The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA fragment as having a 1263 bp open reading frame that encodes a 421 amino acid polypeptide, and a high homology was found withother reported Chit42 belonging to the Trichoderma sp. The 22 amino acid N-terminal sequence is a putative s...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of Mycoplasma synoviae isolates from commercial chickens in Iran
Detection of Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) by culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been reported from commercial chicken farms in different provinces of Iran. In some reports the phylogenetic analysis of MS isolates based on 16S rRNA and variable lipoprotein hemagglutinin (vlhA) genes have been carried out. The PCR product containing partial 16S rRNA genes of Iranain isolates was sequence...
متن کاملComplete nucleotide sequence of Beauveria bassiana 5.8s rRNA coding gene and flanking internal transcribed spacers.
The nucleotide sequence of two clones of Beauveria bassiana in 5.8s rRNA coding gene and ITS regions were completely sequenced. The overall sequence similarity of these two clones is 96%. The identities of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions are 91 % (ITSI) and 100% (ITSII), respectively. Both of 5.8s rRNA sequences have 98% homology.

Repeated sequences, like the 5.8S rRNA and its flanking regions in C. albicans, can be of particular interest as PCR targets; this is especially true if variations in sequence or length of these regions occur between members of a same genus or species (1). We therefore cloned ribosomal repetitive units of two C. albicans strains and determined the sequence of their respective Internal Transcrib...

Pasteurella multocida is known as an important heterogenic bacterial agent causes some severe diseases such as fowl cholera in poultry and haemorrhagic septicaemia in cattle and buffalo. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed using primers derived from conserved part of 16S-23S rRNA gene. The PCR amplified a fragment size of 0.7 kb using DNA from nine avian P. multocida isolates...
