Abstract excerpt

Production of the killer toxin in Kluyveromyces lactis is dependent on the presence of two linear DNA plasmids, k1 and k2. We isolated a non-killer mutant, VM5, with a modified plasmid composition. It had lost k1, but conserved k2, and acquired, in addition, three new DNA species. The new species...
