Summary
Restriction fragment maps have been constructed for the mitochondrial DNA from two petitenegative yeasts, Kluyveromyces lactis and Saccharomycopsis lipolytica (Candida lipolytica). On these circular genomes, we localized the sequences homologous to the S. cerevisiae mtDNA fragments carrying known genes. The arrangement of genes for ATPase subunit proteins, ribosomal RNA and 4S RNA shows a common feature with respect to S. cerevisiae mitochondrial genome.
