โœฆ Synopsis

Yeast mitochondria were found to affect the zeta-potential of protoplasts, resulting in electrofusion of membrane behavior. For modeling purposes, two fusion systems were investigated: (1) parent yeasts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae G706 (rho(+)) x O708-11-16A (rho(+)), with zeta-potentials of -10 to -27 mV and -28 to -45 mV, depending on MgCl(2) concentration in the medium, respectively; and (2) parent yeasts of S. cerevisiae G706-1 (rho(-)) x O708-11-16A (rho(+)), with zeta-potentials of -30 to -60 mV, depending on MgCl(2). Yields of the hybrids in system (2) were over 100-fold higher than those in system (1). Thus, regulation of yeast electrofusion was found to be possible by mitochondrial mutations.

A hybrid of Saccharomyces diastaticus x Hansenula capsulata was obtained by conversion of the S. diastaticus parent to a petite, protoplasting and fusion of the strains and isolation of the hybrids on selective media, containing glycerol or galactose. All of the single-ceU clones obtained resembled
