Auxotrophic variants of Torulopsis glabrata

Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of five Torulopsis glabrata isolates resulted in the appearance of a wide variety of auxotrophic variants. 16 auxotrophic phenotypes were observed. These results suggest that typical isolates of this amictic yeast are haploid.
