Abstract The orotidine-5′-phosphate decarboxylase gene of Saccharomyces exiguus Yp74L-3 was cloned as a DNA fragment complementing a ura4 mutation of this yeast. The coding region of the gene is 807 bp in length, and represents 68.7% similarity to the corresponding gene of S. cerevisiae (URA3). The cloned URA4 gene was shown to be located on the 790-kbp Chromosome (chr) VIII of S. exiguus Yp74L-3. The neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree based on the orotidine-5′-phosphate decarboxylase coding sequences indicates that S. exiguus Yp74L-3 is closely related to Kluyveromyces yeasts, as well as to a S. cerevisiae laboratory strain.
