Abstract excerpt
A number of mutants with a demand for amino acids, vitamins and nitrous bases has been obtained under effect of nitrosoguanidine (0.05%) on the yeast Candida utilis and carotene-synthesizing yeast Rhodosporidium diobovatum, Rhodotorula glutinis var. glutinis and Rh. rubra. Concentration of auxotrophs due to the death of prototrophs has been achieved in the studied yeast, with the exception of Rh. rubra using...
