Abstract

Nocardial recombination appears to be controlled by multiple mating factors of unknown characteristics. A single linear linkage group is indicated by studies of the segregation of unselected characters. In this single linkage group are all of the auxotrophic and resistance characters investigated to the present time. Because of the close relationship between the mycobacteria and nocardiae, it seems likely that similar hereditary control exists in the mycobacteria and can be studied by similar means.
