Abstract

Sporulation parameters of genetically labelled strains, derived from a wild strain of the alkane-utilizing yeast Saccharomycopsis lipolytica were improved by a breeding program using brother-sister crosses. Sporulation frequency, the number of four-spored asci and viability of ascospores could be significantly enhanced. To date a number of genetically well-defined strains is available that have good sporulation parameters and show a 1:1 segregation pattern of markers suitable for genetic analysis.
