Abstract excerpt
A Podospora anserina mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) rearrangement mutant, Mn19, was crossed with a deletion mutant, alphaDelta5. Ascospores (212) from random asci were tested for viability, growth and life-span phenotypes, and mtDNA inheritance. Some spore inviability was detected along with early growth arrest (at the time of spore germination) from which some isolates recovered. However, the majority had wild-type...
