The addition of inositol to starved cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC 86 resulted in an initiation of growth. Inositol was incorporated into phosphatidyl-inositol and after a lag period RNA was the first macromolecule with a rate of synthesis departing from the rate observed in deprived cells.
A new method for the routine isolation of mutations of spontaneous origin in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is reported. The technique is based on the observation that inositol auxotrophs die when deprived of inositol. However, if macromolecular synthesis is inhibited, most of the cells surviv
