Background:

The genus Eremothecium includes dimorphic and filamentous fungi.
Notable species include Eremothecium sinecaudum (plant pathogen) and Eremothecium gossypii (riboflavin producer).
Eremothecium coryli is a dimorphic species requiring further molecular characterization.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish a molecular transformation system for Eremothecium coryli.
To enable detailed comparative studies of fungal dimorphism and filamentous growth within the Eremothecium genus.

Main Methods:

Developed a transformation system for E. coryli using kanMX and NATMX3 selectable markers on plasmids.
Introduced reporter genes lacZ and GFP.
Utilized AgTEF1 and regulatable MET promoters (from A. gossypii and S. cerevisiae) to control reporter gene expression.
