Abstract
Novozymes manufactures and markets a phosphate inoculant, JumpStartĀ®, based on the
phosphorus-solubilizing fungus Penicillium bilaiae. We are developing a mutant of this fungus
that expresses the DsRed-Express fluorescent protein, which will be used as a research tool to
allow us to see where and how P. bilaiae interacts with plant roots.
