[Pombelist] counterselectable markers in S. pombe

[Gerald Smith]

Has anyone used a substance other that FOA to block the growth of
wild-type cells but allow a mutant to grow?  Aminoadipate inhibits
wild-type S. cerevisiae but not lys2 mutants (homolog of S. pombe lys1, I
think).  Does this work for pombe?  Are there any other combinations that
work for pombe?

Thanks for your help.
