Abstract excerpt
An intriguing mutant was isolated in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which is defective in the maintenance of viability after entry into the stationary phase. In the logarithmic growth phase, the mutant cells grow at the same rate as the parental cells. Upon the onset of the stationary phase, however, the mutant cells lose viability very rapidly. It was found that this phenotype was due to a mutational lesion in the...
