A set of 239 heat-sensitive (38 degrees) and 16 cold-sensitive (18 degrees) conditional mutants of Tetrahymena has been generated by combining techniques to manipulate large numbers of clones with a method for the selection of self-fertilized cells after mutagen treatment. A simple technique is presented for determining the fertility of individual clones; 179 of the clones in this set (71%) are fertile. The fertile conditional mutants have already been shown to have lesions in a number of diverse functions, including nucleic acid metabolism, mobility, cell cycle, and cortical pattern.
通过将大量克隆操作技术与诱变处理后自交细胞的选择方法相结合,已产生了一组239个嗜热(38摄氏度)和16个嗜冷(18摄氏度)的嗜热栖热菌条件突变体。本文介绍了一种确定单个克隆育性的简单技术;该组中的179个克隆(71%)是可育的。这些可育的条件突变体已被证明在许多不同功能中存在缺陷,包括核酸代谢、运动性、细胞周期和皮层模式。
