lowercase petite mutation petite is a mutant first discovered in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae . Due to defect in the respiratory chain, petite yeast are unable to grow on media containing only non fermentable carbon sources such as glycerol or ethanol , and form small anaerobic colonies when grown in the presence of fermentable carbon sources such as glucose . The petite phenotype can be caused by the absence of, or mutations in, mitochondrial DNA termed cytoplasmic petites , or by mutations in nuclear encoded genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. A neutral petite produces all wild type progeny when crossed with wild type. petite mutations can be induced using a variety of mutagens, including DNA Intercalation chemistry intercalating agents, as well as chemicals that can interfere with DNA synthesis in growing cells. ref Ferguson Mutagens that create petites are implicated in increased rates of degenerative diseases and in the aging process.
