GENETIC ANALYSIS IN THE COLONIA STRAIN OF PHYSARUM POLYCEPHALUM: HETEROTHALLIC STRAINS THAT MATE WITH AND ARE PARTIALLY ISOGENIC TO THE COLONIA STRAIN

1 Department of Biology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139

Amoebae of the Colonia (CL) strain, which normally produce plasmodia in clones, are shown to cross with mt3 and mt4 amoebae under appropriate conditions. Strains carrying mt3 and mt4 in a CL genetic background were constructed and used in the genetic analysis of mutants isolated in CL.
