Abstract:Multicellular fungi have repeatedly given rise to primarily unicellular yeast species. Some of these, includingSchizosaccharomyces pombe, are able to revert to multicellular-like phenotypes (MLP). Our bioinformatic analysis of existing data suggested that, besides some regulatory proteins, most proteins involved in MLP formation are not functionally conserved betweenS. pombeand budding yeast. We developed high-throughput assays for two types of MLP inS. pombe: flocculation and surface adhesion, which correlate… Show more
