Abstract

We have cloned and determined the nucleotide sequence of 18 DNA fragments hybridizing to 5S rRNA from two Aspergillus species--A. wentii and A. awamori. Four of the analyzed sequences were pseudogenes. The gene sequences of these two species were very similar and differed from Aspergillus nidulans at both constant and microheterogeneous sites.
