Abstract
Phenethyl alcohol is shown to induce cytoplasmic respiratory deficiency (petite mutation) in various strains ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae. Apart from petite induction, phenethyl alcohol also affects cell growth both in respiratile and non-respirable media. This sensitivity to growth inhibition appears to be complex, and does not correlate with the degree of induction of respiratory deficiency.Keywords
