| Abstract;The killer phenomenon is widespread among various genera and species of yeasts. Killer yeasts secrete polypeptides, known as killer factors that kill sensitive strains of yeasts, in their culture medium. Among these factors, HM-1 of Hansenula mrakii IFO 0895 has unique features. It has high stability against heat treatment and is stable in wide a pH range. It also kills a variety of other yeast strains. The killing mechanism and The cell wall receptor of HM-1 have been extensively studied. These studies suggest that HM-1 can be used as an anti-fungal agent. While molecular mechanism of K1 killer factor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, killer factor of Kluyveromyces lactis and SMKT of Pichia farinosa are also described. (author abst.) |
