Abstract
The 8-kb repeat unit of M, grisea rRNA-encoding DNA (rDNA) was cloned as th ree subclones, pM50, pM21, and pM86. Nucleotide sequencing of these subclon es uncovered the structure of an rDNA repeat unit similar to those of other ascomycetes. The intergenic spacer (IGS) of the rDNA cistron contained a r epetitive (R) region, which was rich in two hinds of short tandemly repeate d elements.
