Enhanced Tolerance to Antifungals as a General Feature of Rho<sup>−</sup> Mutants in Yeast Species: Implications to Positive Selection of Respiratory Deficiency

Although the mitochondrial genome is an attribute of all eukaryotes, some yeast species (called petite-positive) can replicate without mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Strains without mtDNA (known as rho<sup>−</sup> mutants or petite mutants) are respiration-deficient and require fermentable c...
