KW: delayed enrichment; liminal enrichment; auxotrophs; How to find straws in a pile of needles! small colonies, or late-appearing colonies. early in a series of methodological forays to avert picking thousands of colonies in quest for mutants. Superseded by penicillin method (P-15) and replica-plating (P-27). -- and eventually with far moe efficient mutagenesis, transposon, etc. jl 7/16/98
