The Effects of Griseofulvin on Diploid Strains of Free

Abstract

Summary: Diploid strains of grown on medium supplemented with griseofulvin (20 μg ml) produced fast-growing sectors of two types after 7 to 28 days incubation: these were diploid somatic recombinants and haploids. A dikaryon grown on the same medium broke down to give one haploid component only; resolution of this dikaryon and a near-isogenic diploid resulted in selection for sectors carrying a gene for resistance to griseofulvin. The use of this antibiotic is suggested as a tool for routine haploidization in
