Abstract excerpt
Killer-toxin complexes produced by Kluyveromyces lactis and Pichia acaciae inhibit cell proliferation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Analysis of their actions in haploid MATalpha cells revealed that introduction of the opposite mating-type locus (MATa) significantly suppressed antizymosis. Together with resistance expressed by MATa/MATalpha diploids, the reciprocal action of MATa or MATalpha in haploids of opposite...
