Selection of yeast auxotrophs by thymidylate starvation.

Barclay, B J

RESUMO

A rapid procedure for the recovery of Saccharomyces cerevisiae auxotrophs was developed by exploiting the protection of these mutants from thymineless death when a required metabolite was withheld. The method can be used for thymidine 5'-monophosphate-requiring auxotrophs or wild-type strains blocked in de novo synthesis of thymidylate by folate antagonists.
