inconsistence in liquid and plate killing

[Wei Xiao]

Dear yeast netters:
	Does anyone have a good explanation or clue why some yeast strains
show a strong killing on plate but not in liquid culture condition?  In 
particular, we have cloned two new genes whose mutants are sensitive to a
drug.  Mutant 1 is more sensitive to mutant 2 on plate, but less sensitive
in liquid killing experiment.  These are gene-specific disruption mutants
in the same strain.
