aCB: Centraal Bureau voor Schimmelcultures, Baarn, The Netherlands. sp, spontaneous mutation; NG, UV and IM recovered after N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, ultraviolet irradiadiation (254 nm) or insertional mutagenesis, respectively. cross: constructed by crossing. bMain phenotypic characteristics. FFF, very fertile; F, fertile; St, sterile. AS differentiates both Anneaux and Secteurs and synthesizes α and σ only in the respective modified areas. As* differentiates Anneaux but not Secteurs, though they have the σ determinant throughout the mycelium; As differentiates Anneaux but not Secteurs and never contain the σ determinant; a*S differentiates Secteurs but not Anneaux, though they have the α determinant throughout the mycelium; aS differentiate Secteurs but not the Anneaux and never contain the α determinant.
