Abstract excerpt
Screening for morphological mutants of a haploid strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was done on the basis of their cell-shape on a solid medium containing isoamyl alcohol, which causes cell elongation, to obtain information on the morphogenesis. Mutant J19, which had pseudohyphae in liquid medium even in the absence of isoamyl alcohol, had many elongated cells. Few reports exist of haploid cells growing as...
