| Abstract: |
The present invention relates to recombinant-DNA-technology, and
particularly to genes involved in the control of basic metabolic processes in
fungi. The invention specifically provides a mutated form of the native glucose
repressor gene cre of filamentous fungi, wherein the mutation is situated in the
C-terminal domain, the N-terminal first zinc finger being intact and the
C-terminal region including the second zinc finger being mutated so that the
viability of a strain carrying said mutated gene is maintained and the glucose
repression is relieved.

Biophysics. Metabolism. |
