摘要: A stable amicronucleate strain of Tetrahymena thermophila was isolated following nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis. The mutant has the same growth rate and viability as micronucleate parent strain, no micronucleus detectable by chromatin-specific staining in vegetative or during conjugation. pairs with normal efficiency cells complementary mating type. Matings aneuploid strains which lose their meiosis produced cell yielding one viable inviable cell. receives a from partner, but this is lost within two hundred generations.
