Non-Conventional Yeasts in Genetics, Biochemistry and Biotechnology

Most information on yeasts derives from experiments with the conventional yeasts Saccaromyces cerevisiae and Schizossaccharomyces pombe , the complete nuclear and mitochondrial genome of which has also been sequenced. For all other non-conventional yeasts, investigations are in progress and the rapid development of molecular techniques has allowed an insight also into a variety of non-conventional yeasts.
In this bench manual, over 70 practical protocols using 15 different non-conventional yeast species and in addition several protocols of general use are described in detail. All of these experiments on the genetics, biochemistry and biotechnology of yeasts have been contributed by renowned laboratories and have been reproduced many times. The reliable protocols are thus ideally suited also for undergraduate and graduate practical courses.

Comprehensive collection of detailed practical protocols All protocols have been reproduced several times and are thus suitable for practical courses A clear and uniform presentation of the protocols allows to follow each step easily Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
