Abstract excerpt
The monogenic rib83 mutation blocked riboflavin oversynthesis in the yeast Pichia guilliermondii and lowered iron acquisition by cells, their ferric reductase activity, and the growth rate in iron-deficient media. Mutants with the combined mutations of rib83 with rib80 and rib81 (the last two mutations impair the negative control of riboflavin synthesis and thus cause its oversynthesis) were unable to depress the...
