Yeasts belonging to the <i>Metschnikowia</i> genus are particularly interesting for the unusual formation of only two needle-shaped ascospores during their mating cycle. Presently, the meiotic process that can lead to only two spores from a diploid zygote is poorly understood. The expression of fluorescent nuclear proteins should allow the meiotic process to be visualized in vivo; however, no large-spored species of <i>Metschnikowia</i> has ever been transformed. Accordingly, we aimed to develop ...[more]
