M. Gulati et al., ISOLATION AND GENETIC-ANALYSIS OF ETHANOL-SENSITIVE MUTANTS OF THERMOTOLERANT KLUYVEROMYCES-MARXIANUS, Biotechnology techniques, 11(5), 1997, pp. 343-346
Six monogenic mutants of K. marxianus, affected in their ability to to
lerate ethanol, were assigned to 6 loci etr1 through etr6, probably th
e hot spots for ethyl methane sulfonate as these loci were found mutat
ed in each of the non-monogenic mutants as well. Differential ethanol
tolerance of allelic hexagenic mutants suggests that even more than 6
genes may be involved in controlling ethanol tolerance in K. marxianus
.
