Abstract
Conventionally, filamentous fungi are transformed by using conidia or protoplasts as recipients. However, induction of sporulation is difficult in some fungi, and protoplasting is an awing, frequently frustrating, and batch-dependent work. In this study, we established a simple and convenient method to prepare single cells from mycelia without enzymatic protoplasting. As a case study on the pathogenic fungus Phoma herbarum YS4108, the single cells could be directly and highly efficiently transformed with the aid of Tn5 transposase. The optimal electric pulse delivery parameters were 25 microF in capacitance, 0.75 kV (0.2-cm cuvette) in voltage, and 400 Omega in resistance, under which the efficiency of transposase-assisted transformation (TNAT) was enhanced to two to threefold compared to that of non-TNAT method, resulting in >230 transformants/cuvette (10(6) recipients). Further cell wall weakening of the single cells by lytic enzymes and linearization of the plasmid were found to have no effects on transformation efficiency, but vector linearization apparently lowered the background growth. The present study for the first time explained that Tn5 transposase could be used to increase transformation efficiency in filamentous fu...Continue Reading
