Abstract excerpt
A collection of transposon-mutagenized strains of Yarrowia lipolytica was screened for wall defects by determination of their sensitivity to calcofluor white. A number of strains were hypersensitive, whereas others were resistant. Different non-allelic mutants displayed increased sensitivity to autolysis and lytic enzymes, independently of whether they were sensitive or resistant to calcofluor white. A thorough...
