Killing of Torulopsis glabrata by Saccharomyces cerevisiae Killer Factor

Howard Bussey 1, Nigel Skipper 1
PMCID: PMC429527  PMID: 773297

Abstract

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae killer factor glycoproteins killed the pathogen Torulopsis glabrata by a mechanism involving membrane damage. Some other yeast species were unaffected by these glycoprotein toxins.
