Abstract excerpt
At frequencies as high as 1.4%, the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans spontaneously gave rise to morphological mutants exhibiting more than 20 different types of abnormal colonies; approximately two-thirds of the mutants were stable, while the other one-third were unstable and produced mixtures of different colonial forms at very high rates. Abnormal electrophoretic karyotypes were observed for all of the 14...
