Mutagenesis of Phaffia rhodozyma with NTG yielded a mutant with an astaxanthin content of 1688 μg (g dry biomass)(-1), a cell yield coefficient of 0.47 on glucose and a maximum specific growth rate of 0.12 h(-1). Re-mutation of the mutant decreased the cell yield and maximum specific growth rate but
The aspartate-derived amino-acid pathway leads to the production of the essential amino-acids lysine, methionine, threonine and isoleucine. Aspartate kinase (AK) is the first enzyme in this pathway and exists in isoforms that are feedback inhibited by lysine and threonine. Two maize (Zea mays L.) th
A new method for the routine isolation of mutations of spontaneous origin in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is reported. The technique is based on the observation that inositol auxotrophs die when deprived of inositol. However, if macromolecular synthesis is inhibited, most of the cells surviv
A mutated yeast cell 22574d lacking all three proline transporters, PUT4, UGA4, and GAP1, and incapable of growth on proline recovers its lost ability to grow on proline as sole nitrogen source when transformed with a mutagenized mouse g-actin cDNA (M-g-A). Native mouse g-actin cDNA is ineffective.
