Abstract excerpt
Morphological, developmental and antimetabolite-resistant mutants of T. lanuginosus were characterized and used for screening with the aim to develop constitutive alpha-amylase-hyperproducing strains. The protoplast fusion of two spontaneous mutants of T. lanuginosus, characterized as asporulating and resistant to 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG), resulted in sporulating, 2DG sensitive heterokaryotic fusants.
