Mitochondria Are Inherited From theMATa Parent in Crosses of the Basidiomycete FungusCryptococcus neoformans
1 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies demonstrated that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was uniparentally transmitted in laboratory crosses of the pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans. To begin understanding the mechanisms, this study examined the potential role of the mating-type locus on mtDNA inheritance in C. neoformans. Using existing isogenic strains (JEC20 and JEC21) that differed only at the mating-type locus and a clinical...
