Abstract excerpt

We characterized a spontaneous albino mutant of Ceratocystis resinifera. Compared with the wild-type progenitor strain, the albino mutant had a reduced linear growth on culture medium, but its growth on lodgepole pine sapwood was unaffected. The albino mutant did not produce any coloured pigment on agar media or wood. However, upon exposure to exogenous scytalone, an intermediate metabolite of the melanin...
