Fourteen mutants have been identified in which the frequency of spontaneous mutations in mitochondrial DNA is increased. As well as increasing the frequency of mutations to resistance to erythromycin, oligomycin and spiramycin, all the mutants also show changes in the frequency of spontaneous petite

We have isolated about five hundred temperature-sensitive mutants specific for the mitochondrial functions. Their growth on glycerol is defective at 36 degrees C and/or 20 degrees C. While most of the mutations were nuclearly inherited, about thirty were found to be of mitochondrial origin. 1) Four
1. Several nuclear mutants have been isolated which showed thermo- or cryo-sensitive growth on non-fermentable media. Although the original strain carried mitochondrial drug resistance mutations (CR, ER, OR and PR), the resistance to one or several drugs was suppressed in these mutants. Two of them
We describe a mitochondrial suppressor mutation, which restores respiratory competence to the nuclear pet--mutant MK2. This mutant lacks the message of the mitochondrial cob-gene and instead accumulates a partially spliced pre-mRNA which ,is not translated. Complete processing and translation of the
