Abstract excerpt
Variants of a cloned laboratory stock of the trypanosomatid parasite Crithidia luciliae have been distinguished from "parental type" organisms. These variants accumulated spontaneously over time as the protozoan was maintained by continuous passage in a chemically defined medium. Cloned lines of these variants have been isolated by plating on nutrient agar and partially characterized on the basis of their growth...
