Abstract excerpt

A temperature-sensitive, conditionally lethal actin mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, DBY 1693, was used to study, using light and electron microscopy, dysfunction of the actin cytoskeleton in the morphogenesis of the cell wall. Cells of this mutant strain survived at least 24 h at the restrict...
