Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans can adapt and grow on sorbose plates by losing one copy of Chr5. Since rad52 mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae lose chromosomes at a high rate, we have investigated the ability of C. albicans rad52 to adapt to sorbose. Carad52-DeltaDelta mutants generate Sou(+) strains earlier than wild-type but the final yield is lower, probably because they die at a higher rate in sorbose. As other strains of...
