Abstract
Simple and reproducible DNA fingerprints from a naturally occurring Ph affia rhodozyma strain as well as from astaxanthin-overproducing mutan ts were produced with a single arbitrary primer using PCR. Between 3 a nd 5 major DNA fragments were produced. These ranged in size from 0.7 to 2 kilobase pairs (kb). Some bands were present in all the P. rhodoz yma strains while others were observed only in individual mutants.
