Abstract excerpt
We report here a counter-selectable marker system for genetic transformation of the yeast Schwanniomyces alluvius, based on the complementation of uracil auxotrophs defective in either orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase (URA3) or orotidine-5'-pyrophosphate (URA5). Uracil auxotrophs of S. alluvius were obtained by ethyl methanesulphonate mutagenesis and complemented using the ura3 gene from S. cerevisiae. A...
