Pichia guilliermondii ARS – element was subcloned on pUC19 and modified pBR322 vectors as a part of 0,82kb HincII fragment of chromosomal DNA. Several plasmids, based on these newly obtained vectors were constructed. Plasmid stability dependence on length of native ARS-flanking sequences was studied. Increase of size of ARS carrying sequences rises plasmid stability in 4–6 fold. Thus, length of native ARS-flanking sequences is important for plasmid stability in P. guilliermondii cells.


Keywords: yeast, Pichia guilliermondii, ARS flanking sequences, plasmid stability.
