Abstract excerpt
Propionate medium is normally toxic for the growth of Aspergillus nidulans. Spontaneous mutations relieving the toxicity to propionate, which arose on propionate medium, have been shown to be mutations in acetate metabolism. One acu- mutant is allelic with acuA (the structural gene for acetyl-CoA...
