Sequence comparison of S. uvarum CBS 7001 genes with homologues of different strains of S. bayanus, S. uvarum and S. pastorianus (% nucleotide identity).

NA: absence of amplicon with S. uvarum primers; -: not determined; Lg: described as lager genes by Tamai et al., 2000 [43] or Kodama et al., 2001 [44]. By extension, the sequences different from S. uvarum and S. cerevisiae were also considered as Lg ; Mix: multiple amplified fragments, not sequenced; sub: nucleotide substitutions between CBS 395T and CBS 7001; absent: absence of amplicon with S. uvarum or S. cerevisiae primers and absence of hybridization bands on Southern blot; ScMEL1, ScPOL1: genes identical to S. cerevisiae homologues; partial: gene partially sequenced, the size is given within brackets; *POL1 was partially sequenced on 1776 bp. Lg AB50-51 deposited sequences AB027450, AB027451.
