Abstract excerpt

We have isolated a new type of Paramecium tetraurelia mutant, named rie-2, that has a long immaturity period until autogamy. We previously isolated such an autogamy mutant, designated rie-1. These two mutants had some additional common features such as dependence of the occurrence of autogamy on the temperature, involvement of a single recessive gene, lower fission rate and shorter clonal life span. However,...
