Abstract
A method for expressing higher eucaryotic genes in Aspergillus through the use of a recombinant plasmid capable of integration into the chromosomal DNA of Aspergillus is disclosed. It is preferred to utilize a transcriptional promoter within a DNA construct contained in the plasmid that is of a DNA sequence encoding an ADH enzyme or a TPI enzyme. Promoters capable of directing the expression of a heterologous gene in Aspergillus, as well as other filamentous fungal genera are also disclosed.
