Talk:Killer yeast

First observed
The citation intended to support the statement "The phenomenon was first observed by Louis Pasteur, as noted in 1877" does not seem to be about killer yeasts; instead it's about anthrax. Was this citation used by mistake? Or perhaps the discussion about anthrax is relevant to killer yeasts in a way I didn't understand? As far as I can tell, the first mention of killer yeasts in the literature is a pair of abstracts by Makower and Bevan from 1963 (Bevan EA, Makower, M 1963. The physiological basis of the killer character in yeast. Proc. 11th int. Congr. Genet. I, 203; Makower M, Bevan EA. 1963. The inheritance of a killer character in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Proceedings of the 11th International Congress of Genetics 1 : 202). Does the person who included the Pasteur citation know something more? MicrobeFun (talk) 15:33, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The statement was added by in in January 2010.  added information about the 1963 discovery a day earlier. I don't have access to the references any more and can't verify anything.- gadfium 23:45, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

two viruses not one
The toxin actually comes from a second virus involved (Saccharomyces cerevisiae killer virus M1 (ScV-M1)), see https://academic.oup.com/femsre/article/26/3/257/497293. --SCIdude (talk) 07:49, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
