STA gene coding glucoamylase was introduced into haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae SHY3 and polyploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae 54. We constructed the recombinant plasmid by substituting the promoter region of alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzyme I gene for that of STA gene to increase the expression of STA gene and found that the activity of glucoamylase was increased in transformants. The plasmid stability was improved remarkably when we got the STA gene into the plasmid which had centromere. The activity of glucoamylase and transformation frequency of it, however, was decreased because of low copy number. Industrial polyploid strain was transformed with the recombinant plasmid having the $2mu$ origin of replication and STA gene. It produced more alcohol than host when fermented in liquefied starch media. The industrial strain, however, was not transformed with the autonomously replicating plasmid containing centromere.
