Abstract

Drechmeria coniospora is a nematophagous fungus and potential biocontrol agent. It belongs to the Ascomycota. It is related to Hirsutella minnesotensis, another nematophagous fungus but, phylogenetically, it is currently closest to the truffle parasite Tolypocladium ophioglossoides. Together with its natural host, Caenorhabditis elegans, it is used to study host-pathogen interactions. Here, we report a polyethylene glycol-mediated transformation method (Turgeon et al., 2010; Ochman et al., 1988) for this fungus. The protocol can be used to generate both knock-in or knock-out strains (Lebrigand et al., 2016).

Background

D. coniospora has been developed as a model pathogen for the study of innate immunity in C. elegans (Lebrigand et al., 2016 and references therein). D. coniospora grows slowly on standard growth media, rendering in vitro study difficult and making it hard to develop transformation methods. We report here a culture method that allows the rapid production of large quantities of D. coniospora, opening the way to its genetic modification. Polyethylene glycol-mediated transformation is probably the simplest method that has been broadly applied to modify fungi. We found that it can be used with D. coniospora, thus providing the first approach to modify its genome deliberately.
