High impact information on Saccharomycopsis

• We have detected a 140-nucleotide RNA coded by the mitochondrial DNA from Saccharomycopsis fibuligera by hybridization with an oligonucleotide complementary to a conserved sequence found in mitochondrial and prokaryotic RNase P RNAs [1].
• Cell-wall-associated and extracellular alpha-glucosidases were purified to homogeneity from Saccharomycopsis fibuligera KZ growing on a medium containing cellobiose as the sole source of carbon; this substrate has the greatest inducing effect on the production of both forms of the enzyme [2].
• The 210th lysine (K) residue in the Saccharomycopsis alpha-amylase (Sfamy) molecule was replaced by arginine (R) and asparagine (N) residues by site-directed mutagenesis [3].
• pH profiles and isotope effects for aconitases from Saccharomycopsis lipolytica, beef heart, and beef liver. alpha-Methyl-cis-aconitate and threo-Ds-alpha-methylisocitrate as substrates [4].
• We isolated two genes for extracellular beta-glucosidase, BGL1 and BGL2, from the genomic library of the yeast Saccharomycopsis fibuligera [5].

Biological context of Saccharomycopsis

• The complete nucleotide sequence of the secretable alpha-amylase gene ALP1 from the yeast Saccharomycopsis fibuligera has been determined [6].
• In order to obtain strains of Saccharomycopsis lipolytica impaired in the active transport of L-lysine, mutants resistant to a mixture of L-canavanine, L-4-5-transdehydrolysine and L-S-amino ethylcysteine, taken either all three or two by two, were isolated [7].

Anatomical context of Saccharomycopsis

• Prototrophic colonies could be selected on minimal medium after mixing of protoplasts from diauxotrophic mutants of the yeasts Saccharomycopsis lipolytica and/or Lodderomyces elongisporus and treatment with polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the presence of calcium chloride [8].
