In Sacchuromyces cerevisiue, the structural genes PDCI, PDCS and PDC6 each encode an active pyruvate decarboxylase. Replacement mutations in these genes were introduced in a homothallic wild-type strain, using the dominant marker genes APT1 and TnSble. A pyruvate-decarboxylase-negative (Pdc -) mutan

## Abstract Oxythiamin is one of the antivitamin derivatives of thiamin which, after phosphorylation, can be bound to the catalytic centre of thiaminβdependent enzymes and inhibit these enzymes. In this work the influence of oxythiamin on the growth rate, survival and the activity of pyruvate decar
A series of yeast mutants has been isolated with the inability to grow on fermentable carbon sources whilst growing normaily on ethanol media. One of the mutants, namely MC16/ 206 lacks pyruvate decarboxylase activity and does not grow on glucose at 37Β°C but grows on both ethanol and glucose at 27 Β°
Pyruvate decarboxylase is a key enzyme in the production of low-molecular-weight byproducts (ethanol, acetate) in biomass-directed applications of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To investigate whether decreased expression levels of pyruvate decarboxylase can reduce byproduct formation, the PDC2 gene, whi
