Abstract excerpt
When a mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (spe2 delta) that cannot make spermidine or spermine was incubated in a polyamine-deficient medium in oxygen, there was a rapid cessation of cell growth and associated cell death. In contrast, when the mutant cells were incubated in the polyamine-deficient medium in air or anaerobically, the culture stopped growing more gradually, and there was no significant loss of cell...
