Abstract
The comparative chromosomal locations of polymeric beta-fructosidase S UC genes have been determined by Southern blot hybridization with the SUC2 probe in 91 different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Most o f the strains exhibited a single SUC2 gene, but in some strains two or three SUC genes were found. All Suc(-) strains carried a silent suc2( 0) sequence. The accumulation of SUC genes was observed in populations derived from sources containing sucrose and seems to be absent in str ains from sources promoting the MEL gene.
