Abstract excerpt
More than 200 mutants of Aspergillus nidulans were isolated as hypersensitive to the monofunctional alkylating agent MNNG and/or UV-irradiation (designated nuv mutants). Of these, 23 were selected for further characterization. All were markedly hypersensitive to both MNNG and the quasi-UV-mimetic mutagen 4-NQO. The hypersensitive phenotype of each mutant was shown to result from mutation of a single gene. The nuv...
