Abstract excerpt
To identify genes necessary for sphingolipid synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae we developed a procedure to enrich for mutants unable to incorporate exogenous long chain base into sphingolipids. We show here that a mutant strain, AG84-3, isolated by using the enrichment procedure, makes sphing...
