Evidence for mitotic recombination in the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum

E R Katz et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1974 Oct.

Abstract

A mutant resistant to methanol was isolated and the mutation was shown to be located on the same linkage group with two other previously identified markers, white spore color and temperature sensitivity. In the course of analyzing methanol-resistant haploid segregants, four classes of methanol-resistant diploids were found. It is proposed that these represent mitotic recombinants, and a map of the chromosome is suggested. Segregation analysis of the diploids shows the genotypes of the diploids to be in perfect agreement with the mitotic recombination model.
