Abstract
The basis of the mutant phenotype of the pyr 3a strain of Neurospora appears to be the arginine sensitivity of an early step in pyrimidine synthesis. The effect of a suppressor mutation which renders pyr 3a pyrimidine-independent is to reduce arginine levels in the mycelium by its effect on ornithine transcarbamylase.Keywords
