Anomalies in selection render 8-azaguanine unsuitable as a selective agent for screening forward mutations in continuour cultures of Sch. pombe. This system may, however, provide tha basis for an enrichment method for the simultaneous isolation of mutants at two loci.

## Meiosis-deficient mutants of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe carrying meil, mei2, mei3, mei4 and mesl mutant alleles were characterized by electron microscopy and staining of the nucleus with 4', 6-diamidino-2phenylindole. Zygotes of either meil, mei2 or mei3 mutants contained one r
The nuclear pleiotropic respiratory-deficient mutant pet1 (previously M126) exhibits cytochromes aa3 and b deficiencies accompanied by loss of the oligomycin-sensitivity of the mitochondrial ATPase. The mutant pet1, unable to grow on glycerol, growth on glucose. The latter phenotypic trait symbolize
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae ochre and opal, as well as amber mutations are known, whereas in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe no amber alleles have been described. We have characterized trp1-566, an amber allele in the trpl locus of S. pombe. The identification of trpl-566 as an amber all
