A survey of 12 genetically distinct, heat-sensitive mutants of Neurospora revealed three (un-1, un-3, and un-17) that are specifically deficient in the superoxide dismutase (SOD) isozymes SOD-2 (mitochondrial), SOD-3 (mitochondrial), SOD-4 (exocellular), respectively. Genetic analysis of the thre...
