Abstract excerpt
By screening for the osmotically remediable phenotype, mutations in two genes (orlA and orlB) affecting the cell wall chitin content of Aspergillus nidulans were identified. Strains carrying temperature-sensitive alleles of these genes produce conidia which swell excessively and lyse when germinated at restrictive temperatures. Growth under these conditions is remedied by osmotic stabilizers and by...
