A selection system for diploid and against haploid cells in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
We have isolated a mutant of Schizosaccharomyces pombe whose growth is temperature sensitive when it is haploid but not when it is diploid. This mutant may provide a useful system for selecting nonconditional mutants which are defective in diploid formation upon conjugation.
