title: Characterization of conidiation mutants in Trichoderma viride by hyphal anastomosis and protoplast fusion.
abstract: Conidiation mutants were isolated from the fungus Trichoderma viride, and tested for complementation by both anastomosis and protoplast fusion. They could be grouped into three classes: (1) colour mutants; (2) mutants with reduced conidiation; and (3) nonconidiating mutants. Several mutants of classes (2) and (3) were incapable of anastomosis, but via protoplast fusion they produced heterokaryons suitable for complementation tests.
