Abstract
Five mutants of H. polymorpha and C. boidinii were isolated which were impaired in their ability to grow on methanol. Two of these mutants lacked the enzyme triokinase, 1 contained lowered activities of fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and 2 had unknown lesions. Revertants isolated with wild-type phenotype had regained the missing enzyme activities. The relationship of the mutant phenotypes to the proposed dihydroxyacetone pathway for methanol assimilation is discussed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
