Abstract excerpt
UV irradiation treatment of the asexual yeast Candida tropicalis gave rise to morphological mutants exhibiting at least four different types of abnormal colonies on glucose-containing solid medium. These mutants were named according to their colony morphologies: 'doughnut', 'frilly', 'echinoid' and 'walnut' mutants. The doughnut mutant produced a wrinkled colony with a hollow in its central region that was rich...
