Abstract excerpt
The yeasts of the Saccharomyces genus exhibit a low pre-zygotic barrier and readily form interspecies hybrids. Following the hybridization event, the parental genomes undergo gross chromosomal rearrangements and genome modifications that may markedly influence the metabolic activity of descendants. In the present study, two artificially constructed hybrid yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae x Saccharomyces uvarum...
