摘要
This study was prompted by the observation that an Aspergillus niger transformant with a multicopy bphA (benzoate-4-hydroxylase gene) insert did not grow on benzoate, whereas a transformant with only one extra copy could grow. Therefore, an extensive survey has been made for other genes involved in the conversion of benzoate into 4-hydroxy-benzoate. A transformant with two copies of the bphA gene was used in part of the mutation experiments in order to avoid the isolation of many bphA mutants. Filtration enrichment was used to isolate mutants defective in the conversion of benzoate. The Bph mutants that have been isolated belong to six complementation groups. Mutants with a defected structural gene (bphA) were again predominantly found but, in addition, five other groups of mutants that could not grow on benzoate were isolated. Genetic analysis of the mutants showed that the six genes were localized in different parts of the genome. This was used as an additional proof that some mutants involved different genes. Diploids with seven copies of the bphA gene and heterozygous for one of the other bph genes were constructed. No indication has been obtained that any one of the mutant classes is responsible for the growth-limiting factor in bphA multicopy transformants. This study shows that the p-hydroxylation of benzoate is very complex, although the metabolic pathway is straight forward.
