What is it about?
This study was aimed to identify and measure the level of gene expressions that are responsible for coding to killer toxins in 31 different type strains with antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity of two killer toxins.

Why is it important?
The results of M28, M1, and M2 gene expression showed that Wickerhamomyces anomalus and Torulaspora delbrueckii had the highest expression compared to the remaining 29 isolates that appeared in less gene expression. The high value of gene expression was compared with the lowest value to determine the fold change for Wickerhamomyces anomalus. The fold change values for the genes M28, M1, and M2 were 66.913, 2011.714, and 47314.69, respectively, while the fold change of Torulaspora delbrueckii for the genes M28, M1, and M2 were 8.135, 938.497, and 3541,146, respectively. These results clarified the fold change for all genes. The highest fold change value occurred in Wickerhamomyces anomalus compared to Torulaspora delbrueckii. This means that the Wickerhamomyces anomalus has a high ability in production amount compared with Torulaspora delbrueckii.
