Genetic studies of several events of the life cycle of Y. Eipolyte'ca demonstrated that diploid strains were unstable and produced mitotic segregants by haploidization. A screening system was developed which enabled us to show that parasexual processes can take place in addition to the sexual life c

Yarrowia lipolytica, like other lower fungi, has a fatty acid synthetase complex (FAS) with an a& molecular structure. Both subunits are multifunctional proteins each with a molecular weight of more then 200000 daltons. A collection of FAS-deficient?) Y. Zipolyticu mutants was isolated and character
Mating in Yarrowia lipolytica can be induced by mixing cells of both complementary mating types (A and B) in yeast extract-malt-medium. By means of an inbreeding programme, strains with significantly improved mating frequencies were selected. The main events of the mating process, that have been det
Using an EcoRI-BglII fragment of the G unit of the rDNA of Y. lipolytica and a set of 11 deletions in the URA3 promoter, we have constructed several plasmids to test gene amplification in the rDNA. These plasmids contain the rDNA fragment for integration, defective versions of the URA3 gene, the XPR
To investigate the role of Srp54p in protein translocation, the Yarrowia lipolytica SRP54 homolog was cloned. Sequencing revealed an open reading frame of 536 amino acids coding for a 57β’2 kilodalton polypeptide with 55 to 57% sequence identity to Srp54ps of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharo
