Indirect selection for auxotrophic mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae using the antibiotic netropsin.

J D Young, J W Gorman, J A Gorman, R M Bock.   

Abstract

The small basic oligopeptide antibiotic, netropsin, can be successfully employed as an effective counterselecting agent in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The use of the drug results in approximately a 35-fold enrichment of auxotrophic mutants in a mutagenized culture of yeast. The experimental procedure is quite simple and less time consuming than other presently used methods for indirect mutant selection in yeast.
