Spontaneous mutants of the petite-negative yeast Kluyveromyces lactis, resistant to the antibiotics chloramphenicol and oligomycin, were isolated and genetically characterized. Three chloramphenicol-resistant mutants showed non-Mendelian inheritance when crossed to sensitive parents. Of 5 oligomycin

The growth of two strains of the "petite-negative" yeast Kluyveromyces lactis is inhibited by Tetracycline in different ways under the same culture conditions. Tetracycline resistant mutants of one strain have been isolated which can tolerate doses as high as 3000 microgram/ml of antibiotic. The seg
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°
A recombinant plasmid was isolated from a Kluyveromyces lactis genomic DNA library which complements a Saccharomyces cerevisiae arg8 mutant defective in the gene encoding acetylornithine aminotransferase. The complementation activity was found to reside within a 2.0 kb DNA fragment. Nucleotide seque
The mitochondrial ATPase from oligomycin-resistant mutants which map on different regions of an extrachromosomal DNA (01 and 011 class mutants) showed an increased resistance to oligomycin and venturicidin when assayed in vitro as compared to the sensitive strains. The resistance to oligomycin of th
