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

Work in recent years has produced indirect evidence to support the view that the phenomenon of suppressiveness in yeast is the result of the ability of the petite mtDNA to out-replicate the wild-type genome. We have developed a method, based on fluorography of gels containing restriction fragments o
Mitochondrial transfer RNA genes have been ordered relative to the position of five mitochondrial drug resistance markers, namely, chloramphenicol (C),1 erythromycin (E), oligomycin I and II (OI, OII), and paromomycin (P). Forty-six petite yeast clones that were genetically characterized with respec
We have studied recombination between repetitive mitochondrial DNAs from cytoplasmic petite mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Mitochondrial DNA was isolated from two parental p- mutants, carrying respectively the CR and the ER mitochondrial genetic markers, and from two p- CRER diploid genetic re
Fifty eight mitochondrial mutants (p + mit- mutants), all deficient in cytochrome oxidase activity and previously assigned to the genetic region oxi3 on the mitochondrial DNA, were mapped by the method of "petite deletion mapping". This procedure resulted in the identification of at least twenty one
