title: Heterozygous effects on cell yield and generation time in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: The data obtained analyzing generation time, cell yield and their variability in different culture media in diploid strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae demonstrate the existence of a biochemically determined heterotic effect, that could be of some relevance for the study of yeast population genetics, as well as for the improvement of microbial fermentation processes.
