A luciferase expression system for Physarum that facilitates analysis of regulatory elements

J Bailey et al. Curr Genet. 1994 Aug.

Abstract

We have developed a transient expression system for the protist Physarum polycephalum based on firefly luciferase. We demonstrate the utility of this system for comparing the activities of different promoters in Physarum amoebae, and also for detecting genetic elements that affect the level of gene expression. This system is likely to facilitate improvements in the stable transformation of this organism.
