T. Matsumoto et Y. Fukumasanakai, ISOLATION AND GENETIC-ANALYSIS OF A CHLORAMPHENICOL-RESISTANT MUTANT OF PLEUROTUS-OSTREATUS, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 58(2), 1994, pp. 434-435
A chloramphenicol-resistant mutant was isolated by mutagenesis with ma
nganese to make a study of the genetics and function of mitochondrial
genes in the higher basidiomycete, Pleurotus ostreatus. The resistant
mutant obtained was shown to grow well on media containing up to 4mg/m
l chloramphenicol. The result of genetic analysis suggested that the o
rigin of the factor for chloramphenicol resistance of the mutant might
be mitochondrial.
