Abstract excerpt
The HM-1 killer toxin from Hansenula mrakii is known to inhibit cell wall beta-1,3-glucan synthase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other sensitive strains of yeast. A number of mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that show resistance to this toxin were isolated in order to clarify the killing mechanism of the toxin. These mutants, designated rhk (resistant to Hansenula killer), were classified into three...
