I. Balogh et A. Maraz, SEGREGATION OF YEAST POLYMORPHIC STA GENES IN MEIOTIC RECOMBINANTS AND ANALYSIS OF GLUCOAMYLASE PRODUCTION, Canadian journal of microbiology, 42(12), 1996, pp. 1190-1196
Hybrid yeast strains were constructed using haploid Saccharomyces cere
visiae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus strains to get ha
ploid meiotic recombinants having more than one copy of STA1, STA2, an
d STA3 genes. STA genes were localized on the chromosomes by pulsed fi
eld gel electrophoresis. Working gene dosage effects were found among
STA genes in liquid starch medium, indicating low levels of glucose re
pression. Growth of strains, however, was not influenced by their STA
copy number.
