Interspecific complementation analysis by protoplast fusion of Candida tropicalis and Candida albicans adenine auxotrophs.
A protocol employing inositol starvation was used to isolate proline and adenine auxotrophs of Candida tropicalis. Interspecific hybrids between red adenine auxotrophs of C. tropicalis and Candida albicans were formed by protoplast fusion. These C. tropicalis red adenine auxotrophs were shown to fall into two complementation groups by crossing them with a known C. albicans ade1 tester strain. I...
متن کاملProtoplast fusion hybrids of Candida albicans sterol mutants differing in nystatin resistance.
Intraspecific protoplast fusion, induced by polyethylene glycol and Ca2+, was carried out in various pairings between auxotrophic nystatin-sensitive, ergosterol-producing strains of Candida albicans and their nystatin-resistant, ergosterol-less mutants of different origins. Nutritionally-complemented stable heterozygous diploid hybrids were obtained, which proved to be sensitive, semi-resistant...
متن کاملInstability of Candida albicans hybrids.
Total cellular DNA content, determined by a colorimetric method, was used as an index of ploidy in Candida albicans. Mononucleate hybrids were formed by fusion of spheroplasts derived from diploid parent strains. Five hybrids, of six studied, were taken to be tetraploid on the basis of estimated DNA content. One hybrid was taken to be hexaploid or near-hexaploid. Selection for increased resista...
متن کاملEnhancement of Xylanase Production by Protoplast Fusion of Trichoderma spp.
Filamentous fungi Trichoderma spp. are efficient hyper-producers of industrially important enzymes. Xylanases are essential hemicellulases having vast ranges of applications in the various industrial sectors. In this study, the protoplast fusion of two T. virens and </span...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of Bacillus stearothermophilus by protoplast fusion.
Efficient and reliable protoplasting, regeneration, and fusion techniques were established for the prototrophic strain Bacillus stearothermophilus NUB36. Auxotrophic mutants were isolated, and protoplast fusion was used to construct isogenic mutant strains and for chromosomal mapping. Markers were mapped using two-, three-, and four-factor crosses. The order of the markers was hom-1-thr-1-his-1...
