Abstract excerpt
Due to a deficiency in mitochondrial protein synthesis, Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cell mutant Gal- 32 does not grow in galactose or fructose. This report examines the nuclear or cytoplasmic inheritance of this single, recessive mutation. In a control experiment, fusion of Gal+TGSTK- cells with Gal- 32TGRTK+ cells resulted in tetraploid hybrids (as verified by karyotyping) that were selected in...
