Abstract excerpt
Killer-sensitive strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces carlsbergensis were transformed by electroinjection using double-stranded RNA isolated from a superkiller strain. Various recipient strains were used: both thermo-resistant and thermo-sensitive as well as mutants of industrial strains. Conversion of respiratory competent (rho+) into respiratory deficient (rho-) strains (mutants) resulted in a...
