Obligate Thymidine Auxotrophs of Pseudomonas acidovorans1

Rod A Kelln a, R A J Warren a
PMCID: PMC251657  PMID: 4688666

Abstract

The aminopterin technique was adapted for the isolation of thymidine auxotrophs of Pseudomonas acidovorans. All the mutants isolated responded to thymidine but not to thymine.
