This report concludes our analysis of the various standard maltose-fermenting strains Saccharomyces spp. We showed that, in addition to either MAL2 or MAL4 functional locus present and strains, both contain two cryptic MALg genes mapping MAL1 MAL3 positions. (Functional MAL loci appear consist linked complementing gene functions, MALp MALg. Cryptic lack a gene.) Using probe containing DNA fragment derived from MAL6 locus, we detected three genomic HindIII fragments strains. Each these is shown segregate Mendelian fashion be one each also additional having significant sequence homology but lacking MAL-related functions.
