title: [Detection of the loss of 1 chromosome from pair III in Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts].
abstract: A diploid strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, T6 is described which monitors both mitotic crossing over and induction of aneuploidy. The chromosome III carries recessive markers: rgh12 of "rough colony" phenotype closely linked to centromere, the left arm is marked with his4, the right arm is marked both with thr4 and the locus of mating type alpha. Expression of all the markers on chromosome III leads to formation of colonies which are rough, require histidine and threonine, and are of alpha mating type. These colonies arise as a result of the loss of a chromosome during mitosis, which makes the strain allow detection of monosomic cells formation. Chromosome XV carries two phenotypically distinguishable and recessive alleles of the gene ade2: ade2-192 (causes red coloration of colonies) and ade2-G45 (causes pink coloration of colonies). Mitotic crossing over generates two reciprocal products which can be revealed together in colonies as pink and red sectors in double-spotted colonies. Both double-spotted and monosomic colonies have been obtained after treatment with gamma-rays. The frequency of mitotic crossing over after irradiation by 1000-3000 Gray increased up to 2-3.2% (the spontaneous level was 0.006%), the frequency of aneuploidy was 0.12 to 0.57% at plating immediately after irradiation (the spontaneous monosomics were not observed among 1.5 X 10(5) cells scored). Induction of mitotic crossing over and aneuploidy by benomyl was rather slight (up to 0.05 and 0.006%, respectively).
