โฆ Synopsis
We isolated heterothallic strains from a homothallic strain of S. exiguus by mutagenization with UV or ethylmethanesulfonate (EMS). A gene, not linked to the mating-type locus, was found to control homothallism in the yeast, as in S. cerevisiae. alpha Pheromone of S. exiguus (alpha se pheromone) induced formation of large pear-shaped cells (shmooing) in alpha strains of S. exiguus, S. cerevisiae, and S. kluyveri, and sexual agglutinability of an inducible alpha strain of S. cerevisiae. alpha se Pheromone is a peptidyl substance a little different from alpha pheromone of S. cerevisiae. alpha Pheromone of S. exiguus acts only on alpha cells of S. exiguus. Contrary to the above results, neither sexual agglutination nor zygote formation occurred among these three Saccharomyces yeasts.
