We established an in vitro clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated RNA-guided DNA endonucleases (Cas9) system to efficiently produce specific genome editing in Aspergillus niger, using a novel recyclable, bidirectional selection marker gene amdS without the need of prior production of an amdS mutant. The donor DNA plasmid consisted of amdS open reading frame, promoter, terminator, and directional repeats (DRs) flanking sequences. It was cotransformed with recombinant nuclease Cas9 and the sgRNA, which targets to the pigment gene olvA of A. niger strain CBS513.88. The positive olive transformants, other than the wild-type strain, were able to grow on the media containing acetamide as the sole nitrogen source and cesium chloride. Furthermore, culturing the transformants on media with fluoroacetamide and urea allowed a loop-out of the amdS expression cassette by recombining the flanking DRs. This study confirmed the facts that the endogenous amdS can be used as a dominant marker and that it can be removed by counter-selection in gene editing of A. niger. The proposed in vitro CRISPR/Cas9 method offers a powerful tool for marker-free genetic manipulation of filamentous fungi industrial-specific strains.
