Kluyveromyces
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Kluyveromyces is a genus of ascomycetous yeasts in the family Saccharomycetaceae.[1] Some of the species, such as K. marxianus, are the teleomorphs of Candida species.
The genus name of Kluyveromyces is in honour of Albert Jan Kluyver ForMemRS (1888-1956), who was a Dutch microbiologist and biochemist.[2]
The genus was circumscribed by Johannes P. Van der Walt in Antonie van Leeuwenhoek vol.22 on pages 268–271 in 1956.
Mating and sporulation in Kluyveromyces are co-induced by poor environments and most often occur in succession without intervening diploid mitotic cell divisions.[3]
A RAD52 gene homolog from Kluyveromyces lactis was cloned and characterized.[4] This gene, which has a central role in recombinational repair of DNA, can complement S. cerevisiae rad52 mutants.[4]
Species
Kluyveromyces is widely cultured for microbiological and genetic research. Some important species include:
