Natural polyploidization of some cultured yeast Saccharomyces sensu stricto: auto- and allotetraploidy.

Using genetic and flow cytometric analyses, we showed that wine strain S6U is an allotetraploid of S. cerevisiae x S. bayanus. Hybrid constitution of the strain and its meiotic segregants was confirmed by Southern hybridization analysis of their chromosomal DNAs using four S. cerevisiae cloned genes: LYS2 (chr. II), TRK1 (chr. X), ARG4 (chr. VIII), ACT1 (chr. VI) and PCR/RFLP analysis of the MET2 gene (chr. XIV). Monosporic progeny of strain S6U was highly viable in first generation but completely nonviable in the second one. According to the genetic analysis, sherry strain S. cerevisiae SBY 2592 was found to be an autotetraploid heterozygous for homo-heterothallism.[1]
