Abstract excerpt
The brewing yeast, Saccharomyces, carlsbergensis, is allopolyploid, derived from two diverged genomes. To obtain information about the possible origin of this yeast, we cloned two different S. carlsbergensis MET2 genes (encoding homoserine acetyltransferase). One has a nucleotide (nt) sequence identical or very similar to MET2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The other has a different sequence, but was functional in...
