β¦ Synopsis
A cytogenetic study of the nuclear material of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as it appears during mitosis was undertaken using a technique which combines light and electron microscopic examination of spheroplasts. Condensation of chromatin into separate chromosomes is observed. The most frequent chromosome number counted is 18.

Mitotic cells of a diploid strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with appropriate markers for the detection of mitotic crossing-over and mitotic gene conversion were irradiated with X-rays. Induction of these recombinational events was strong. After irradiation, cells were incubated in a rich growth me
Competition experiments between yeast strains which were either inducible or constitutive for maltase synthesis were performed. The experiments showed a selective advantage of ceils with an inducible maltase over cells with a constitutive maltase. However, with respect to the carbon source of the me
In the Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitotic cycle, the timing of radiation-induced gene conversion has been studied using thermosensitive cell division cycle mutants. The cells were found to perform conversion at different G1 or post-replication steps. A lower yield in induction is found during the G2 p
Protein synthesis by ribosomes from several cryptopleurine-resistant yeast mutants is also resistant to emetine and tubulosine. These mutants can be classified into two different types: Class I mutants which display high levels of resistance to emetine and tubulosine and Class II mutants that are on
