Abstract excerpt
Four genes coding for alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activities were identified in Kluyveromyces lactis. Due to the presence in this yeast of multiple ADH isozymes, mutants in the individual genes constructed by gene replacement yielded no clear phenotype. We crossed these mutants and developed a screening procedure which allowed us to identify strains lacking several ADH activities. The analysis of the adh triple...
