Abstract excerpt
A positive method is proposed for selecting Pichia guilliermondii mutants with derepressed GTP cyclohydrolase. Mutants with the incompletely blocked gene RIB2 were used as parent strains; these can grow in a medium without riboflavin (RF) only if the enzyme is derepressed as the result of iron deficiency in cells. Strains growing in a medium without RF at the optimal supply of cells with iron were selected as...
