Abstract excerpt
The Tetrahymena nonreversal (TNR) mutants of Tetrahymena thermophila are behavioral mutants with nonexcitable membranes. When cells of the tnrB mutant were mated with wild type, a phenotypic change occurred about 1 h after pair formation. The pairs began to lose their heterotypic character in stimulation solution containing high potassium and, within 1 1/2 h, they were not distinguishable from the wild-type...
