An aneuploid strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was isolated from a haploid strain with gal11, mutation of which would presumably occur through mitotic nondisjunction. The strain carries an extra copy of chromosome II deleted for a distal part of its left arm covering ISL1. The partial chromosome is

โฆ Synopsis
A novel type of regulatory mutation for galacrose metabolism in Saccharomyees cerevisiae is described. The mutation named galll was recessive, non-alMic to GAL4, GALSO, GAL2, or GAL3, and unlinked to the gene cluster of GALl, GALIO, and GilL Z It caused a 'coordinate' reduction of galactokinase, galactose-l-P uridylyl transferase, and UDP-glucose 4-epimerase by a factor of more than 5, rendering the mutant cells galactose-nonfermenting. The effect of the mutation was manifested not only in cells grown on galactose but also in cells constitutively synthesizing the galactose-metabofizing enzymes.
