Abstract
At least 31 yeasts are able to utilize methanol as a sole carbon source (J.A. Barnett, pers. comm.). There is now much interest in these organisms for basic biological and ecological studies and practical applications. The development of genetic tools is advanced enough that three species are amenable to genetic analysis and recombinant DNA systems for them are known. Details of the methylotrophic yeasts are available (Table 14.1), including reviews on their genetics and molecular biology (Cregg 1986; Sibirny et al. 1988; Sudbery and Gleeson 1989). We discuss here current knowledge of fundamental and biotechnological problems.
