Abstract

An enrichment scheme was designed for the isolation of auxotrophic mutants of the thermotolerant and methanol-utilizing yeast,Hansenula polymorpha, by the use of the polyene antibiotic nystatin. This treatment resulted in auxotrophic isolates at a frequency of 75%. With or without nystatin enrichment, the vast majority of obtained auxotrophs required nucleic acid bases.
