Intraspecific divergence of Saccharomyces kluyveri as revealed by the nucleotide sequences of 18S-28S rRNA spacer regions and alpha-galactosidase MEL genes

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2001 Jan;65(1):164-6. doi: 10.1271/bbb.65.164.

Abstract

In the five strains classified as the yeast Saccharomyces kluyveri, several substitutions were observed in the two internal transcribed spacer regions between 18S and 28S rRNA. A PCR reaction with primers targeted to the MEL1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae amplified fragments of the expected size, and those sequences showed significant divergence in the strains of S. kluyveri.
