Abstract excerpt
In order to take full advantage of the industrially important yeast Candida utilis, we developed a practical recombinant DNA tool for multiple gene disruption in C. utilis based on the Cre-loxP system, which makes possible the reuse of selection markers. For this purpose, two plasmids were constructed: one harbored a heterologous loxP-flanked selection marker cassette carrying the gene responsible for hygromycin...
