Abstract excerpt
The dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is more resistant to high copper concentrations than Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This differential tolerance to copper ions has been observed in several strains arising from non-related isolates. To investigate the molecular basis of this resistance, we obtained several copper-sensitive mutants. By complementation of one of them, we isolated the YlCRF1 gene encoding for a...
