Abstract excerpt
Acenaphthene used as vapour increases the frequency of morphological mutations as well as mutations yielding strains with a reduced activity of respiration in Candida scottii. The diploid culture has more mutants than the haploid culture. The frequency of mutants depends on the duration of acenaphthene action. Cells more resistant to the action of acenaphthene vapour are selected in the haploid culture when C....
