Summary
Su12-1 and su12-2 are two ribosomal suppressor mutations previously described in the fungus Podospora anserina. Revertants were isolated on the criteria of either improved growth at 27 °C (for su12-1) or suppression of the paromomycin hypersensitivity (for su12-2). Among 45 mutations lying outside the su12 locus, only one was found which defines a new antisuppressor locus, AS9. About 3/4 of these mutations are antisuppressor mutations localized in the previously identified AS6 and AS7 genes. While the AS6 mutations harbour diverse phenotypes, all the mutations lying in the AS7 gene lead to the same phenotypic alterations. In addition, two new su3 mutations were obtained and shown to display an antisuppressor effect on su12-1.
