We are interested in using bialaphos as a selectable marker for
transformation as described by Martin Pall in the Fungal Genetics
Newsletter Vol 40 p. 58.  It was found that nitrogen-free medium N
supplemented with proline was required for good growth inhibition.  What
other media have been used?  Do other amino acids  work as nitrogen
sources? 

Also can someone tell me the address of a good supplier of
bialaphos/basta/ignite?  Thanks.
