Hyperhaploid and hyperdiploid colonies of Aspergillus nidulans, disomic or trisomic for one or more chromosomes respectively, are abnormal in phenotype and somatically unstable. It has been shown for Glasgow strains that a different specific phenotype arises, depending upon which chromosome is additional (Pollard, Käfer & Johnston, 1968). This report extends this system and shows that irrespective of the residual genetic background of the isolate, the system of phenotypic specificity applies.
