The first-stage heterokaryons, obtaining from intergeneric protoplast fusion between Aspergillus niger (Y-b) and Trichoderma viride (M5S51), showed slow growth and mixed morphologies on minimal medium. The fusants were classified into heterokaryon and prototrophic haploid, showing the morphology as that of A. niger. The heterokaryon strains formed conidia with the same nutritional requirements as those of the...
