Abstract: | Summary Slow-growing interspecific heterokaryons were isolated on minimal medium following the induced fusion of protoplasts from auxotrophic mutants of Penicillium chrysogenum and Penicillium cyaneo-fulvum. After 5–7 days cultivation the heterokaryons produced vigorously growing sectors which on transfer gave genetically stable colonies. Cultivation of these colonies on a complete medium supplemented with p-fluorophenylalanine or benomyl broke down this stability and several different prototrophic and auxotrophic colony types were isolated. Many of these behaved as diploids or aneuploids showing sectoring either spontaneously, or in the presence of an haploidizing agent. Some of the latter isolates were recombinants for parental spore colour and auxotrophic markers. |
