Abstract excerpt
We induced by UV mutagenesis a series of yeast mutants that were able to utilize dihydroorotic (dhout) and orotic acid (orout) as precursors for pyrimidine biosynthesis. These recessive mutations defined three complementation groups named dhout, orout1 and orout2. The wild-type allele of the gene...
