A series of yeast mutants has been isolated with the inability to grow on fermentable carbon sources whilst growing normally on ethanol media. One of the mutants, namely MC16/206 lacks pyruvate decarboxylase activity and does not grow on glucose at 37 degrees C but grows on both ethanol and glucose at 27 degrees C. In this strain rho- petites are non-viable.
已分离出一系列酵母突变体,这些突变体在可发酵碳源上无法生长,而在乙醇培养基上能正常生长。其中一个突变体,即MC16/206,缺乏丙酮酸脱羧酶活性,在37℃下不能在葡萄糖上生长,但在27℃下能在乙醇和葡萄糖上生长。在这个菌株中,ρ-小菌落是无法存活的。
