"Killer Character" of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Curing by Growth at Elevated Temperature

¹ Laboratory of Biochemical Pharmacology, National Institute of Arthritis, Metabolism, and Digestive Diseases, Bethesda, Maryland 20014

ABSTRACT

Normal "killer" strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, when grown at 37 to 40 C, produce almost exclusively nonkiller cells due to loss or mutation of at least part of the non-chromosomal killer genome.
