Abstract
By employing Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis we have shown that the chromosomal DNA pattern of a petite-positive strain of Kluyveromyces lactis, designated KF4, differs from the karyotype of the reference strain. Digestion with SfiI and hybridization with an rDNA probe, demonstrate that a novel chromosomal band in KF4 results from a deletion of 35-40 rDNA cistrons from the rDNA cluster. The significance of this finding to possible alterations in cell physiology and the ability to generate "petite" mutants is discussed.Entities:
