Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae accumulates glycogen, a hyperbranched glucose polymer with multiple bio-functionalities. In this study, mutants of S. cerevisiae that accumulate excessive amounts of glycogen were developed through UV mutagenesis. From over 30,000 mutants, the mutant strain CEY1, which exhibited the highest glycogen production, was selected using iodine vapor screening. The glycogen structures of wild...
