Occurrence of killer yeast strains in industrial and clinical yeast isolates.

Biological research - 1 Jan 2008

Baeza Marcelo E, Sanhueza Mario A, Cifuentes Víctor H

Abstract excerpt

The secretion of proteinaceous toxins is a widespread characteristic in environmental and laboratory yeast isolates, a phenomenon called "killer system". The killer phenotype (K+) can be encoded by extrachromosomal genetic elements (EGEs) as double stranded DNA or RNA molecules (dsDNA, dsRNA) or in nuclear genes. The spectrum of action and the activity of killer toxins are influenced by temperature, salinity and...
