β¦ Synopsis
A rapid and simple yeast transformation procedure has been developed using colonies on agar plates. Saccharomyces cerevisiae SHY3 cells were picked up from colonies on YPD plates grown freshly or stored at 4 degrees C and incubated with M13RK9-T DNA at 30 degrees C for 1-2 h in a solution of Li+, Ca2+, Mg2+, triacetin and polyethylene glycol. About 3,500 transformants were obtained per microgram of double stranded M13RK9-T DNA. Unlike the existing spheroplast techniques, single stranded M13RK9-T DNA transformed intact cells below one-hundredth frequency of the duplex form.

A non-Β―occulent strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was transformed with the GAP1 gene which encodes p37, a GAPDH-like protein present in the cell wall of Kluyveromyces marxianus Β―occulent cells. The transformed cells were characterized with respect to Β―occulation behaviour, morphology, growth, cell
Transcriptional analysis of the region flanking the left boundary of the centromere of chromosome VI revealed the presence of a gene immediately adjacent to CENt. The transcription of the gene is directed toward the centromere, and nucleotide sequence analysis showed that the coding region terminate
