Abstract excerpt
The spontaneous and UV-induced frequencies of recessive mutations have been studied in a diploid strain of Aspergillus nidulans, by the p-fluoro-phenylalanine (FPA) and 8-azaguanine (8-AZA) resistance tests, on either resting or germinating conidia. Observed frequencies are in the order of magnitude of those expected, which have been calculated considering the observed mutation frequencies in the haploid strain...
