Temperature-sensitive mutants affecting maltose utilization in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been isolated. Two such mutants although failing to ferment maltose at the restrictive temperature, have normal induced level of maltase. The third mutant (UNT-37) not only failed to ferment maltos
A new series of maltase negative mutants have been isolated from yeast strains carrying the MAL4 gene. These mutants are allelic to the MAL4 gene and fail to ferment maltose, sucrose, and alpha-methylglucoside. Most revertants isolated from these mutants restore the ability to ferment above sugars,
Competition experiments between yeast strains which were either inducible or constitutive for maltase synthesis were performed. The experiments showed a selective advantage of ceils with an inducible maltase over cells with a constitutive maltase. However, with respect to the carbon source of the me
