Abstract: The article discusses the results of a study focusing on the characteristics of a trifluoroleucine-resistant mutant of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, TFL20. The yeast mutant has a mutation in the LEU4 gene. The LEU1, LEU2 and BAT1 genes were found to be up-regulated in TFL20 for metabolism. TFL20 also produced as much isoamyl alcohol and leucine as the sake yeast wild-type strain K30.
