Isolation of nuclei from Aspergillus nidulans protoplasts
1Department of Microbiology, Attila József University, Szeged, Hungary.
Abstract:
Intact nuclei were isolated from the protoplasts of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans. The large amounts of protoplasts required for such nuclear preparations were produced from young mycelia grown in liquid culture. For final purification of the crude nuclear fraction, a Nycodenz density-gradient centrifugation was applied. The resulting nuclei were of good purity and morphological state, as demonstrated by fluorescence microscopy and electronmicroscopy. The weight ratio of DNA:RNA:protein was 1:3.0:10.8 in the nuclear fraction.
