Abstract excerpt
Strains of Aspergillus nidulans carrying the sltA1 mutation, conferring sensitivity to KCl and NaCl, also showed an arginine-sensitive phenotype whereby concentrations of the L-amino acid at or above 10 mM were toxic to growth. Sexual progeny of a cross between a sltA1 mutant and a wild-type strain showed a co-segregation of salt and arginine sensitivity. Similarly, revertants to salt tolerance showed a loss of...
