Abstract excerpt
Competition experiments revealed that adenine and guanine were transported by a purine permease in both Candida glabrata 4 and a C. glabrata 4 cytosine permease negative mutant. The C. glabrata 4 cytosine permease negative mutant was isolated using 5-fluorocytosine selection. This mutant no longer transported cytosine, but transported adenine and guanine. A transport system for hypoxanthine was not detected....
