Abstract excerpt
Isogenic strains of yeast were constructed, differing only in insertionally inactivated genes for ergosterol biosynthesis. These and their allelic wild-types were grown in competition to ascertain growth differences and any selective advantage for organisms producing sterols with or without speci...
