Six UV induced cycloheximide-sensitive revertants were isolated from the cyh1-C7 strain of Schizosaccharomyces pombe which is resistant to cycloheximide. In all cases reversion to sensitivity was due to a forward mutation in a second suppressor gene. Genetical analysis showed that at least two genes

Genetic analysis of a number of cycloheximide-resistant mutants of Neurospora crassa has shown that resistance is Controlled by several genes. Two of these appear to be located on linkage group V. Resistance to the antibiotic is dominant in wild-type-mutant heterokaryons. Two types of cyeloheximide-
Mutants of Schizosaccharomyces pombe were isolated as resistant either to trichodermin or to anisomycin. Growth tests showed that the majority of mutants isolated were cross resistant to both drugs and also to cycloheximide. A limited genetic analysis showed that mutants at least four loci, tri3, tr
