SummaryIn order to study mechanisms of gene regulation inA. niger, and to compare these to similar systems inA. nidulans, a gene encoding an aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme has been cloned. In wild-type strains ofA. niger the gene shows expression which is regulated by induction and repression. Levels of induction by various compounds and the extent of repression under various growth conditions differs from that seen for theA. nidulans aldA gene. Unlike the A.nidulans aldA gene, theA. niger gene has both carbon catabolite repressible and nonrepressible induction mechanisms. Studies of heterologous expression of theA. niger gene inA. nidulans have shown that its expression is regulated by thealcR gene product ofA. nidulans.
