    Notes: Abstract The genome structure of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum in a set of diverse isolates was investigated using a combination of physical and molecular approaches. Flow cytometric measurement of genome size revealed significant variation between strains, with the smallest genome representing 59% of the largest. Southern-blot profiles of a cloned fungal telomere revealed a total chromosome number varying from 9 to 12. Chromosome separations using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) showed that these chromosomes belong to two distinct size classes: a variable number of small (〈 2.5 Mb) polymorphic chromosomes and a set of unresolved chromosomes larger than 7 Mb. Two dispersed repeat elements were shown to cluster on distinct polymorphic minichromosomes. Single-copy flanking sequences from these repeat-containing clones specifically marked distinct small chromosomes. These markers were absent in some strains, indicating that part of the observed variability in genome organization may be explained by the presence or absence, in a given strain, of dispensable genomic regions and/or chromosomes.

    Notes: Summary CYP1 is a trans acting regulatory locus modulating both iso 1- and iso 2-cytochrome c synthesis. Genetical analysis of various mutated alleles has allowed us to identify the gene product as a positive regulatory element. The region of the target sequence of the CYP1 product on the iso 2-cytochrome c structural gene was located by molecular and genetic analysis of two cis acting mutations located at the CYP3 locus: CYP3-36 and CYP3-4, which have been shown to arise from the integration of TY1 elements near the promoter site. Determination of the amount of iso 2-cytochrome c synthesized by strains bearing various genetic constructions, in which the cis acting mutations were associated with different alleles of the CYP1 trans acting locus, showed that TY1 inserted into CYP3-36 extinguishes the activation function due to a mutated overproducer allele CYP1-18, while CYP3-4 amplifies this function. This result identifies at least a part of the target sequence of the CYP1 product within the region separating the two TY1 insertions. To clone the CYP1 gene, we took advantage of the iso 2-cytochrome c overproducer phenotype of the mutated allele CYP1-18, which confers a Lactate+ phenotype on an iso 1-cytochrome c-deficient strain. Such a phenotype allowed the isolation of a recombinant plasmid YEpJFM1 carrying the mutated allele, able to complement on lactate medium a lactate - recipient strain. The identity of the YEpJFM1 sequence with the chromosomal gene was confirmed by homologous recombination at the CYP1 locus.
