Abstract

The paper studies diploids in dermatophyteMicrosporum gypseum. They were isolated as the more rapidly growing sectors from heterokaryons on minimal medium. They are characterized by their wild morphology, conidiation and growth rate, and they are prototrophic. In their genome they contain all the markers present in both mutant components.
