Glucose, as a carbon source, and pyruvate are required for the phenotypic expression of cytoplasmically transmitted chloramphenicol-resistance (CAP-R) mutations, recovery of CAP-R mutants, and continuous growth in the presence of oligomycin or antimycin. Glucose may supply additional energy when mitochondrial respiration is diminished and pyruvate may provide intermediates when the Krebs cycle is inhibited. The requirement for pyruvate is fully satisfied by an exogenous source of purines, and partially by .alpha.-ketoglutarate or a pyrimidine source. Two types of mutations affecting mitochondrial function, oligomycin resistance and pyruvate-independent expression of chloramphenicol resistance, were obtained. Both are cytoplasmically transmitted and provide new markers for a genetic analysis of mitochondrial biogenesis.
