  • Patent number: 7803605
    Abstract: A method for breeding yeast having thermotolerance or recovering growth activity and a method for breeding yeast which produces beta-glucan efficiently as well as an yeast obtained by such methods for breeding are presented by a method for breeding yeast having thermotolerance or recovering growth activity including a step for controlling proofreading function of DNA polymerase in a loss-of-function mutant of yeast (for example, a step for including mutant pol3 gene or mutant cdc6? gene in a gene-disruptant.

  • Publication number: 20070077560
    Abstract: A method is provided for regulating the conversion rate of a hereditary trait of a cell, comprising the step of regulating the error-prone frequency of gene replication of the cell. A method is provided for producing a cell having a regulated hereditary trait, comprising the step of (a) regulating an error-prone frequency of gene replication of the cell, and (b) reproducing the resultant cell. A method is provided for producing an organism having a regulated hereditary trait, comprising the steps of (a) regulating the error-prone frequency of gene replication of the organism, and (b) reproducing the resultant organism.
