Abstract excerpt
Nonlethal UV irradiation induced an unusually high frequency of colony morphology variation in Rhodotorula gracilis. The variation was not fixed but indicated further variability in subsequent platings. Microscopic examination of the cultures indicated that UV-irradiated variants had grossly varying types of shapes and arrangements of cells in contrast to the uniformly shaped and budding cells of the...
