Abstract
The mating reaction in Saccharomycopsis lipolytica is shown to be bipolar through the analysis of whole meiotic tetrads. Genetic evidence is provided that alkane metabolism proceeds through a fatty acid or a fatty acid intermediate since several mutants unable to grow on n-tetradecane were also unable to utilize palmitic acid.Keywords
