Abstract

Novel vectors that use the Pichia pastoris INO1 gene as a selectable marker and exploit the natural inositol auxotrophy of the fission yeast are described. These plasmids also contained other features desirable in a plasmid cloning vector. These plasmids were evaluated in other species of Schizosaccharomyces and found to replicate autonomously in another variety of S. pombe, S. pombe var. malidevorans. These plasmids can be used for transformation of any wild-type S. pombe strain without the need for selection by induced auxotrophic mutations, or by selection by drug resistance markers, and should greatly assist genetic and molecular manipulations in these yeasts.
