TWO NEW GENETICALLY ISOLATED POPULATIONS OF THE SACCHAROMYCES SENSU STRICTO COMPLEX FROM JAPAN

Abstract

Wild Saccharomyces sensu stricto yeasts isolated by K. Mikata and M. Yoneyama in Japan were reidentified by genetic hybridization analysis and molecular karyotyping. Besides known S. cerevisiae and S. paradoxus biological sibling species, two new genetically isolated populations of Saccharomyces sensu stricto complex have been found.
