Description
Abstract:A mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacking 92 percent of its phosphomannose isomerase (E.C.5.3.1.8.) activity was isolated after mutation with E.M.S.. The mutant was found to have the same auxotrophic requirements as the parent strain A364a. Thermostability studies indicated the mutation was in the structural genome and in vivo incorporation studies with C¹⁴ (C-1)mannose indicated a similar rate of decarboxylation as the parent strain.
