Abstract:
Karyotypes of yeast strains in the genus Torulaspora were determined by pulse-field gel electrophoresis and compared with those of the related genus Zygosaccharomyces. The DNA bands ranged from 800 to 1600 kb in T. delbrueckii and 800 to 2000 kb in both T. globosa and T. pretoriensis and those numbers were about six in the three species. The chromosomes of Torulaspora strains comprised relatively smaller size of DNAs than Zygosaccharomyces strains.
