Abstract excerpt
A transformation system for the filamentous yeast Trichosporon cutaneum based on auxotrophic markers is presented and techniques for the induction, isolation and characterization of mutants are described. A number of auxotrophic mutants were isolated and characterized by using biosynthetic precursors and/or inhibitors. A mutant unable to grow in the presence of ornithine could be complemented successfully by...
