is a polyextremotolerant black yeast that exhibits impressive morphological plasticity. Consequently, it shows promise as a model system for investigating mechanisms of cell adaptation to different environments and the regulation of cell shape. Here, we build upon the current toolkit for working with and design and test 25 vectors with seven different codon-optimized fluorophores and three selection cassettes. This includes vectors that allow for dual expression of green fluorescent protein and mCherry-tagged proteins at the locus and vectors that enable homology-based deletion or C-terminal tagging of endogenous genes without the need for cloning. This versatile vector series for working with will enable a broad range of experiments in this emerging model system.
是一种多极端耐受性的黑色酵母，具有令人印象深刻的形态可塑性。因此，它有望成为研究细胞适应不同环境机制和细胞形状调控的模型系统。在这里，我们基于当前用于处理的工具包，设计并测试了25种载体，这些载体带有七种不同的密码子优化荧光团和三种选择盒。这包括允许在基因座处双表达绿色荧光蛋白和mCherry标记蛋白的载体，以及无需克隆即可对内源基因进行基于同源性的缺失或C末端标记的载体。这个用于处理的多功能载体系列将使这个新兴模型系统能够进行广泛的实验。
