Several strains of yeast used in the brewing industry have been transformed using a plasmid carrying the dominant gene for copper resistance, CUP1. This technique will make it possible to consider genetic improvement of commercially useful yeasts through the introduction of desirable genes one at a

Mter a short introduction on the historical background of the development of Saccharomyces cere&iae as a model eukaryote, a review is given on the present state of genetics and molecular biology of copper resistance in 5. cereviaiae. The gene CUPl encodes a protein (copper metallothionein) of a mole
## Abstract In a search for undiscovered mechanisms of resistance to adriamycin, we screened a genomic library derived from __Saccharomyces cerevisiae__ for genes related to adriamycin resistance. To our surprise, we found that overexpression of __BSD2__ rendered yeast cells resistant to adriamycin
