Abstract

Mutants of the petite-negative yeast, Kluyveromyceslactis, resistant to the inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation, decamethylenediguanidine and octylguanidine were isolated from medium containing ethidium bromide. All mutants were resistant to ethidium bromide; some mutants were resistant to both alkylguanidines, some to one, others to neither. Both nuclear and cytoplasmic inheritance of resistance to decamethylenediguanidine and ethidium bromide was demonstrated by tetrad analysis.
