Abstract excerpt
The number of revertants with restored ability to form colony increases in a time-dependent manner during long-term selective starvation of dense mutant microbial cultures. This is due to starvation-associated (also called adaptive) mutations that arise in a replication independent manner. Here we report that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae the frequency of starvation-associated reversions of mutant genes whose...
