title: SALTANT PRODUCTION BY WAVE LENGTHS OF VISIBLE AND LONG ULTRAVIOLET MONOCHROMATIC IRRADIATION, AND A COMPARISON WITH SALTANTS PRODUCED BY SHORT WAVE LENGTHS OF MONOCHROMATIC ULTRAVIOLET IRRADIATION IN THE FUNGUS CHAETOMIUM GLOBOSUM.
abstract: 1. Saltants have been produced in the fungus Chaetomium globosum by longer wave lengths than previously reported-by 365 mmicro and by a visible line 404 mmicro. 2. Absence at these wave lengths of the K saltant, which is so abundant at short wave lengths, is marked. 3. Ratio of percentage irradiated spores germinating to control spores germinating decreases from 83 per cent at 265 mmicro, a short ultraviolet wave length, to 57 per cent at 404 mmicro, a visible violet wave length.
