We have isolated and characterized auxotrophic mutants of Trichosporon adeninovorans, strain PAR-4 to get genetic markers that cover the entire nuclear genome of this thermotolerant yeast of technological interest. The nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis yielded mutants at a high frequency. We detected a b

✦ Synopsis
The yeast Trichosporon adeninovorans secretes an amylase a t a high rate if grown in a medium containing starch or maltose. The enzyme was purified 29-fold by hydroxylapatite chromatography and gel filtration and characterized as a glucoamylase. The enzyme seems to be a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 225,000. The optimal temperature for the glucoamylase activity was 60 to 70 "C in dependence on the substrate concentration. The enzyme displayed highest activity in a pH range of 4.0-5.5. I n the absence of starch or maltose the thermal stability was low but in the presence of substrate a rapid increase of the enzyme stability was observed. The K , values of the enzyme were estimated t o be 1.2 g/l for soluble starch and 4 g/l for maltose.

We investigated the extracellular and intracellular invertase activity of two Trichosporon adeninovorans strains. Both strains (SBUG 724 and CBS 2844) secrete one invertase into the medium. The external enzymes were purified by chromatography on hydroxylapatite. The molecular weight of the external
In two strains of Trichosporon adeninovorans genes of unknown location were assigned to linkage groups. Diploid strains were produced by protoplast fusion and partially haploidized by growth on benomyl causing mitotic haploidization. We show that both strains synthesize an extracellular glucoamylase
## Abstract β‐Xylosidase activity has been detected in cell‐free extracts, in culture fluids and as cell wall‐bound enzyme of __Arxula adeninivorans.__ With chromatographic procedures used to purify the activity two different forms of β‐xylosidase (denoted βX‐1 and βX‐2) from the cell‐free extract
