Increased Viability of a Strain of Neurospora crassa After Treatment with Ultraviolet Radiation or Other Agents

Department of Biological Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida 32306

ABSTRACT

A strain of Neurospora crassa with low viability but near normal germination shows a two- to sixfold increase in the number of colonies formed after treatment with ultraviolet radiation, X radiation, nitrous acid, or heat (50 C). Effective dosages of these agents produce moderate killing of the wild type.
