16630282 Mazzoni C, Iacchini S, Serafini A, Falcone C: Characterization of a Kluyveromyces lactis mutant with altered regulation of mitochondrial alcohol dehydrogenases. FEMS Yeast Res. 2006 May;6(3):421-7.

Interestingly, the aar900 mutants had a pleiotropic phenotype and showed increased resistance to monovalent cations and benomyl, suggesting that the mutation could also affect genes other than the alcohol dehydrogenase ones.

Fusants were selected using benomyl resistance as marker, the killer toxin producer rather than the highly flocculent yeast being resistant to the fungicide at a concentration of 100 micrograms ml-1.
Fusants were also characterized by their DNA contents, capacity for ethanolic fermentation of molasses sugar and levels of invertase, alcohol dehydrogenase and pyruvate decarboxylase activities.

Plasmids have been constructed in which expression of a gene can be placed under the control of the inducible promoter of the alcA gene encoding alcohol dehydrogenase I in Aspergillus nidulans.
Sensitivity of asexual spore formation to the anti-microtubule drug benomyl provides a means of detecting very low levels of expression of the chimeric genes.
