    Notes: Summary Since the yield of mutants per surviving cell increases in general with increasing dose of mutagen, it has often been concluded in the literature that it is the most efficient to apply high mutagen doses so that most spores are killed. As high doses of mutagen produce chromosome rearrangements and unnoticed mutations which disturb the genetic background, the relationship between mutant frequency and survival was analyzed with Aspergillus nidulans as a model. It is shown that for different types of mutants the highest mutant yield is obtained at low mutagen doses (20–50% survival). Mutant frequency increases with increasing dose of mutagen but levels off and even decreases at higher dosages. There is no simple linear relationship between mutant frequency and the logarithm of the mutagen dose or the logarithm of the surviving fraction. If appropriate enrichment procedures are also available auxotrophic mutants can best be isolated at low doses of mutagen. Taking into account the disturbance of the genetic background, mutation induction should be done preferentially at a survival level of at least 70%.

    Genetic analysis and the construction of master strains for assignment of genes to six linkage groups in Aspergillus niger (1988)

    Notes: Summary A start has been made on establishing a collection of Aspergillus niger colour and auxotrophic mutants with an isogenic background for use as a source of genetic markers. All strains have short conidiophores (cspAl ), which makes them easy to handle on test plates. Genetic markers were combined stepwise by somatic recombination. Somatic diploids were obtained at frequencies of 10−6-10−5 with conidiospores collected from a heterokaryon. The haploidization of heterozygous diploids was induced by benomyl. For unlinked markers, the frequency of recombinants varied from 35%–65%. Low frequencies of recombinants were found between markers on a same chromosome, but this was sometimes disturbed by mitotic crossing-over during an early stage of the diploid. Master strains were constructed having markers for six linkage groups.
