Nitrogen starvation reveals the mitotic potential of mutants in the S/MAPK pathways

Nitrogen-starved fission yeast cells survive for weeks without dividing. Here, the authors show that some of these surviving cells accumulate mutations in the stress- and mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways and outcompete their parental cells, which provide nutrients for the mutant cells.
