Ethidium bromide is known to be a powerful mutagen for the induction of eytoplasmically inherited petite mutations in yeast. The effect of ethidium bromide on the degree of suppressiveness of the induced mutants as a function of exposure time is described. The mitoehondrial DNA of 20 ethidium bromid

1. We have studied the pleiotropic effect of a single-gene mutation of the pts mutant strain 1511 grown at 23 degrees C and 36 degrees C. 2. Growth of the mutant at the non-permissive temperature results in a decrease of respiration rate to about 50% after one generation and to less than 5% after fi
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae starvation for a single amino acid activates the transcription of a set of genes belonging to different amino acid biosynthetic pathways (General Control, GC). We show that mutants affected in GC regulation are also affected in their response to thermal stress. Moreover,
Mutations in two genes (cdc8 and cdc21) required for nuclear and mitochondrial DNA synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae result in a 6- to 11-fold increase in the rate of mitotic segregation of petites at the permissive temperature. The defect in DNA replication and the increased rate of petite prod
