The basidiomycetous yeast Pseudozyma antarctica is a remarkable producer of industrially valuable enzymes and extracellular glycolipids. In this study, we developed a method for targeted gene replacement in P. antarctica. In addition, transformation conditions were optimized using lithium acetate, single-stranded carrier DNA and polyethylene glycol (lithium acetate treatment), generally used for ascomycetous yeast transformation. In the rice-derived P. antarctica strain GB-4(0), PaURA3, a homologue of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae orotidine-5-phosphate decarboxylase gene (URA3), was selected as the target locus. A disruption cassette was constructed by linking the nouseothricine resistance gene (natMX4) to homologous DNA fragments of PaURA3, then electroporated into the strain GB-4(0). We obtained strain PGB015 as one of the PaURA3 disruptants (Paura3::natMX4). Then the PCR-amplified PaURA3 fragment was introduced into PGB015, and growth of transformant colonies but not background colonies was observed on selective media lacking uracil. The complementation of uracil-auxotrophy in PGB015 by introduction of PaURA3 was also performed using lithium acetate treatment, which resulted in a transformation efficiency of 985CFU/6.8g DNA and a gene-targeting ratio of two among 30 transformants.
