A quick method for testing recessive lethal damage with a diploid strain of Aspergillus nidulans. 1978

G Morpurgo, and S Puppo, and G Gualandi, and L Conti

A simple method capable of detecting recessive lethal damage in a diploid strain of Aspergillus nidulans is described. The method scores the recessive lethals on the 1st, the 3rd and the 5th chromosomes, which represent about 40% of the total map of A. nidulans. Two examples of induced lethals, with ultraviolet irradiation and methyl methanesulfonate are shown. The frequency of lethals may reach 36% of the total population with UV irradiation.
