Abstract
Three different alleles of the beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase gene were cloned and sequenced from a leucine auxotrophic mutant, G587, of Candida maltosa. The cloning of functionally-intact wild-type genes from this mutant strain suggests the presence of silent gene copies. An interallelic-divergence comparison has provided evidence for new regulatory mechanisms. Sequence data and karyotype analysis argue for a highly-aneuploid genome of C. maltosa. An interpretation for the spontaneous auxotrophy-prototrophy-auxotrophy sequence of mutations in C. maltosa is suggested.
