Abstract excerpt
The evolution of the metabolism of sulfur compounds among yeast species was investigated. Differences between species were observed in the cysteine biosynthesis pathway. Most yeast species possess two pathways leading to cysteine production, the transsulfuration pathway and the O-acetyl-serine (OAS) pathway, with the exception of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida glabrata, which only display the...
