A transformation system derived from the circular plasmid pKD1 has been developed for Kluyveromyces lactis . The principle is essentially equivalent to that of the 2 μ/ Saccharomyces cerevisiae transformation system. The main features of the system are presented. Using a pKD1‐based DNA bank of K. lactis , the KEX1 gene involved in the killer system was isolated by complementation.
