hese strains were screened and from these, eleven strains were chosen to carry out further trials. The S. cerevisiae
strain Σ 1278b (MATa), which has adhesive and filamentous phenotypes(Reynolds and Fink, 2001)and S. cerevisiae
strain BY4742 (MATα,Δflo8), which has a non-adhesive phenotype (Euroscarf collection,Frankfurt) were used as common strains tested for the phenotypes studied.
