Abstract

SUMMARY: As a preliminary to an investigation of the inheritance of penicillin productivity in several strains were genetically labelled with nutritional deficiencies and mutant spore colours. Few auxotrophs of retained the potential for penicillin yield of their parents. An analysis suggests that when loss of penicillin production occurred in an auxotroph it was most likely due to pleiotropic effects of the single mutation to auxotrophy.
