Abstract excerpt

Conidia of Aspergillus nidulans were mutagenized with ultraviolet light and were incubated on a special selective medium containing the catalase inhibitor 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole. From approximately 5 x 10(7) viable UV-irradiated conidia tested, 423 stable mutants resistant to 3-amino-1,2,4-triazo...
