Abstract excerpt

When cells of Candida albicans strain 3153A are treated with a low dose of ultraviolet irradiation, they switch at high frequency (10(-2)) between a number of switch phenotypes discriminated by colony morphology. Clones from switching lineages exhibit continuous reorganization of their ribosomal...
