DNA buoyant densities and RNA base compositions were determined. The G + C content and U/A ratio of the RNA increased as the dG + dC content of the DNA decreased. The results obtained suggest the preferential transcription of dG + dC rich mtDNA in ρ{variant} - petites. © 1973.Mahidol UniversityBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyPreferential transcription of dG + dC rich mitochondrial DNA in cytoplasmic petite mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiaeArticleSCOPUS10.1016/0006-291X(73)91210-2
