EMS and UV mutagenesis in yeast.
نویسنده
چکیده
Many fundamental biological processes have been elucidated by the isolation and analysis of mutants that are defective in such processes. Therefore, the methods to generate mutants are of great importance in model organisms. This unit describes two protocols for mutagenesis of yeast-using ethyl methanesulfate (EMS) and ultraviolet (UV) light. Each of these methods has been used successfully for many years.

Effect of Genes Controlling Radiation Sensitivity on Chemically Induced Mutations in SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE.
The effect of 16 different genes (rad) conferring radiation sensitivity on chemically induced reversion in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was determined. The site of reversion used was a well-defined chain initiation mutant mapping in the structural gene coding for iso-1-cytochrome c. High doses of EMS and HNO(2) resulted in decreased reversion of cyc1-131 in rad6, rad9 and rad15 strains co...

Objective(s):[p1] This study highlights xylanase overproduction from Bacillus mojavensis via UV mutagenesis and optimization of the production process. Materials and Methods:Bacillus mojavenis PTCC 1723 underwent UV radiation. Mutants’ primary screening was based on the enhanced Hollow Zone Diameter/ Colony Diameter Ration (H/C ratios) of the colonies in comparison with the wild strain on Xyla...
متن کاملOverproduction of Clavulanic Acid by UV Mutagenesis of Streptomyces clavuligerus
Clavulanic acid is produced industrially by fermentation of Streptomyces clavuligerus and researches have increased its production by strain improvement, recombinant DNA technology, and media composition and growth condition optimization. The main objective of this study was to increase the level of clavulanic acid production from Streptomyces clavuligerus (DSM 738), using UV irradiation. After...
