Gi. Naumov et al., CHROMOSOMAL-POLYMORPHISM OF MEL GENES IN SOME POPULATIONS OF SACCHAROMYCES-CEREVISIAE, FEMS microbiology letters, 127(1-2), 1995, pp. 41-45
Using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of chromosomal DNA and hybridiz
ation with the MEL1 probe, we determined the chromosomal locations of
polymeric alpha-galactosidase genes in monosporic cultures of natural
strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. An unusual phenomenon consisting
of an accumulation of the MEL genes has been found in some specific Sa
ccharomyces cerevisiae populations. Many strains possessed a new MEL g
ene located on chromosome I.
