Abstract excerpt
Pyrimidine auxotrophs of Mucor circinelloides were isolated after mutagenesis with nitrosoguanidine and selected for resistance to 5-fluoroorotate. These mutants were genetically and biochemically characterized and found to be deficient either in orotidine-5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (OMPdecase) activity or in orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (OPRTase) activity. Different circular DNA molecules containing...
