Anewyeast transformation methodusing intact cells instead ofprotoplasts has recently beendeveloped. 1> 2) This transformation methodis based onthe treatment of intact cells with alkali cations such as lithium acetate or thiol compounds. It has several advantages compared with the current protoplast method3); for example, since lytic en-zyme digestion of yeast cell walls can be avoided, re-generation agar is not necessary andtransformant colonies appear significantly faster (2~ 4days). In the course of efforts to develop newyeast host vector systems wehave found that intact cells treated with only polyethylene glycol (PEG) can be transformed. In this paper wepresent evidence for this observation. The transformation procedure is principally based on the method reported by Ito et al. lt2) The Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, AH22 (a leu2-3 Ieu2-12 his4-519 canl), YNN27 (oc trpl ura3 gall) and D13-1A (a his3-532 trpl gall), were precultured overnight in 1 ml of YEPD (1.0% yeast extract, 2.0% polypepton, 2.0% glucose, pH 5.3). Twenty ml of YEPDcontaining 0.4 ml of a precultured cell suspension was incubated at 30 C with shaking until cell growth reached the late log phase. Cells were then harvested by centrifugation at 1000xg for 5min and washed once with TEbuffer (10mMTris-HCl buffer, pH 7.5, containing 1mMEDTA). Thenthe cells were suspended at a concentration of 2 x 108 cells/ml in the same buffer. Five hundred^ 1 of TEbuffer containing 0.2 m lithium acetate (lithium acetate methodof Ito et al. u2)) or the samevolumeof TEbuffer alone (polyethylene glycol method) was then added to 500 [A of the cell suspension.
