Abstract excerpt
Following targeted disruption of the unique CYC1 gene, the petite-negative yeast, Kluyveromyces lactis, was found to grow fermentatively in the absence of cytochrome c-mediated respiration. This observation encouraged us to seek mitochondrial mutants by treatment of K. lactis with ethidium bromide at the highest concentration permitting survival. By this technique, we isolated four mtDNA mutants, three lacking...
