Abstract
Lithium treated cells of the yeastPachysolen tannophilus have been transformed with a plasmid carrying the gene encoding for the hexokinase PII enzyme fromSaccharomyces cerevisiae. The gene was expressed and the presence of the enzyme within the cell was demonstrated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography of cell-free extracts. Plasmid DNA from the transformants was used to transformE. coli HB101. Plasmid DNA from the bacterial transformants had the same mobility on an agarose gel as the original plasmid.
