We report high–frequency transformation of penicillin–producing strains ofPenicillium chrysogenumusing plasmid vectors carrying thepyr4 gene ofNeurospora crassa. Transformation to stable uracil independence is associated with acquisition of transforming DNA in high molecular forms that are not simple multimers of the vector. A transformant strain showed a fivefold higher orotidine–5′–monophosphate decarboxylase activity (coded by thepyr4 gene) than the wild type strain, indicating that the genes carried in the transforming vector are efficiently expressed inPenicillium.
