Abstract
The cell cycle of a (5) mating type cells of Hansenula wingei was arrested in the G1 phase by α pheromone of Saccharomyces cerevisiae but not by α(21) pheromone of H. wingei, although both the α pheromones are known to induce sexual agglutination ability of a mating type cells of H. wingei. Cells of α mating type of H. wingei became shmooed or arrested in the G1 phase in response to neither a pheromone of H. wingei nor α pheromone of S. cerevisiae.
