Isolation and characterization of a new class of amino-acid-analogue-resistant mutants in Aspergillus nidulans using reduced carbon flow
Four recessive amino-acid-analogue-resistant mutants were isolated on a medium containing acetate as the sole carbon source and the amino acid analogues p-fluorophenylalanine and ethionine. None of the mutants showed any growth requirement. Analysis of growth on media containing an amino acid as the...

Summary: | Four recessive amino-acid-analogue-resistant mutants were isolated on a medium containing acetate as the sole carbon source and the amino acid analogues p-fluorophenylalanine and ethionine. None of the mutants showed any growth requirement. Analysis of growth on media containing an amino acid as the sole nitrogen source indicated that two mutants out of the four possess normal systems for utilization of acidic, neutral, basic and aromatic amino acids. The mutants fpa70 and fpa71 showed reduced growth on tryptophan as the sole source of nitrogen. Three new loci, identified after preliminary genetic analysis, were located on three linkage groups: one each on linkage groups I, VI and VIII. |
