Abstract excerpt
Wingea robertsiae CBS6693 (synonym Debaryomyces robertsiae) was previously reported to harbor two cryptic linear plasmids, designated pWR1A (8.3 kb) and pWR1B (14.6 kb). Reexamination of a putative plasmid encoded killer phenotype involved UV-curing as well as a highly sensitive toxin assay. Killer activities of concentrated culture supernatants prepared from both, a plasmid carrying and a cured plasmid-free...
