title: Comparison of the use of UV light and nitrosoguanidine as mutagenic treatments in Aspergillus parasiticus.
abstract: In the present work we study two different mutagenic methods in Aspergillus parasiticus: UV light and Nitrosoguanidine treatments. With UV light we obtained more suitable results, with survival percentage around 1% in many experiments. With Nitrosoguanidine our results were around 10% survival rate. We suggest the use of UV light to obtain mutants from A. parasiticus.
