About 40 temperature-sensitive mutants have been isolated as a preliminary step to study the spore germination, the cell cycle, and the control of macromolecular synthesis in Aspergillus nidulans. To obtain temperature-sensitive mutants rapidly and effectively, the selective enrichment method using antifungal antibiotic nystatin was developed. Based on the data which had applied to the concentration of auxotrophic mutants by the earlier investigators, the optimal concentration and the time of treatment at the nonpermissive temeprature were determined as 50 to 100 units per ml and 4.5 hr., respectively. Out of 41 ts mutants assigned to the strain symbol PK, thirteen that seemed to be arrested at the earlystage of spore germination were subjected to the further cytological and genetic analysis. Elght of these mutants are able to form germ tube and five not. Staining with acid fuchsin for the 5PK strains shows that one irreversible mutant, PK6 strain able to form germ tube, accumulate mitotic spindle, being arrested in mitosis. Another PK15 and PK23 strain have more than one intact nucleolus without germ tube formation at the restrictive temperature. the temperature-senstive mutation in PK12 strain, the onlystrain which is able occurred in certain gene specific for the germination of spore. All of the ts markers are recessive and complement each other in heterokaryon between two different ts markers at the restrictive temperature.

A collection of 132 temperature sensitive (ts) mutants was generated by the chemical mutagenesis of Schizosaccharomyces pombe wild type strain and screened for tRNA splicing defects on Northern blots by hybridization with an oligonucleotide that recognizes the exon of the S. pombe tRNA^Val as a probe. We identidied 6 mutants which accumulate precursor $tRNA^{Val}$. Among them, 2 mutants exhibited remarkable morphological differences compared to wild type cells. One tRNA splicing mutant showed elongated cell shape in permissive as well as non-permissive cultures. The other mutant exhibited shortened cell morphology only in nonpermissive culture. The total RNA pattern in the splicing mutants appeared to be normal. Genetic analysis of four $tRNA^{Val}$ splicing mutants demonstrated that the mutation reside in different genes.

From FGSC 159 strain of Aspergillus nidulans, temperature sensitive mutants that are defective in growth and differentiation have been isolated by N-methyl-N'-nitroN-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) treatment. The optimum concentration of NTG and incubation time to get the highest mutation frequency was $100{\mu}g$ per ml and 1 hour, respectively. The survival frequency was 1%. Among the isolated mutants, five strains that were affected in early steps of differentiation were selected for further studies and named smK, smY, smB, smF, and smZ. The execution point of each mutant was determined and the growing pattern of each mutant at the restrictive temperature was observed under the microscope. Growth of mutant was arrested near at the execution point. From genetic analysis, each temperature-sensitive mutants was thought to have a single recessive gene. The genes of smK, smY, smB, smF, and smZ are linked to the chromosome VII, IV, VIII, I, and VI, respectively. It can be concluded that the genes controlling the differentiation are widely dispersed in the genome. From the results of mutant, smK, it is considered that a single gene can affect a function (functions) which act(s) at two different steps during differentiation.

Bacillus thuringiensis 3ab K- 3 균주를 28$^{\circ}C$에서 UV광으로 돌연변이를 유도한 다음에 42$^{\circ}C$에서 24개의 Temperature-sensitive(ts)돌연변이 균주를 분리하여 42$^{\circ}C$에서의 성장과 항생제 저항성에 대한 성격을 연구하였다. 24개의 ts 돌연변이 균주중에 13개의 ts돌연변이체는 42$^{\circ}C$의 제한온도에서 전혀 성장을 하지 않았으며, 나머지 11개의 돌연변이체는 성장이 28$^{\circ}C$에서 보다 1/2 에서 1/4까지 감축되었다. 이러한 성격에 따라서 ts돌연변이체는 치사군과 비 치사군으로 나눌수 있었다. 또한 B. thuringiensis SI K-2을 nitrosoguanidine으로 28$^{\circ}C$에서 처리하여 7개의 Auxotrophic mutant을 분리하였다. A-N28은 Arg$^{-}$ . Gly$^{-}$ , Leu$^{-}$ , Met$^{-}$ , Ser$^{-}$ , Val$^{-}$ 을 요구했고, A-N 65는 Ala $^{-}$ , Gly$^{-}$ , Leu$^{-}$ , Met$^{-}$ , Ser$^{-}$ , Val$^{-}$ 을 요구했으며 A-N 92는 Gly$^{-}$ , Leu$^{-}$ , Met$^{-}$ 을, A-N115는 7개의 아미노산을 A-N156은 8개를 요구했다. B. thuringiensis 3ab K-3와 SI K-2 는 Penicillin, Ampicillin과 Cephalothin에 저항성을 나타냈고 ts-U171, A-N92와 A-N115는 이 세항생제에 민감성을 나타냈다. Temperature - sensitive돌연변이균주를 42$^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 배양후에 28$^{\circ}C$로 옮기어 배양한 결과 ts-U601, -U603, -U604와 -U171은 성장을 더 이상하지 않았다.

The flagella antigenic variation of nine Bacillus thuringiensis serovar kurstaki temperature-sensitive mutants grown at the permissive temperature (3$0^{\circ}C$) was detected by a serological agglutination between H-antigen and antiserum. The flagella antigens were injected to rabbits to prepared their antisera, and then their homologous and heterologous titers of the antisera were measured. The homologous titers were ranged from 1:6,400 to 1:12,800, but the heterologous titers were very low. The H-antigen of the wild type strain was not agglutinated to 4 heterologous antisera, ts-U23 not to 7, ts-U3l not 5, ts-U32 not to 4, ts-U33 not to 7, ts-U7l not to 4, ts-U73 not to 6, ts-U74 not to 6, ts-U91 not to 4 and ts-U603 not to 4 antisera.

Stresses and nutritional starvation are two main external signals for the induction of sex pheromones in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. In an attempt to identify the components involved in transduction of starvation signals, we screened 135 temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants and isolated 6 mutants that induced the pheromone even in the presence of a nitrogen source. These mutants exhibited two distict induction phenotypes: pheromone induction at restrictive but not at permissive temperatures; and pheromone induction at both permissive and restrictive temperatures. The times required for the maximum pheromone induction at the restrictive temperature differed slightly in each mutant. In addition to the pheromone induction phenotype, the ts243 and ts304 mutants exhibited cell-division-cycle defects. The ts304 mutant cells showed an abnormal cytoplasmic DAPI staining pattern. The nucleolus of this mutant seemed to be fragmented, a phenomenon which is typically observed in aged yeast cells. The result of our genetic analysis indicated that the pheromone induction mutants belonged to 6 separate complementation groups. We designated these mutants pws1 to pws6.

Bacillus sphaericss 1593균주를 ultra violet light (366nm, 253.7nm)와 dimethyl sulfate으로 처리하여 다수의 감온성 돌연변이체를 분리하여 이중 25균주를 선택하였고 24개의 감온성 돌연변이체는 $42^{\circ}C$의 제한온도에서 전혀 성장을 하지 않았으며, 9개의 감온성 돌연변이체는 제한온도 $42^{\circ}C$에서 허용온도의 성장과 비교하여 1/2정도의 감소를 보였다. 기타 2개의 감온성 돌연변이체는 저온 민감성인 감온성 돌연변이체로서 허용온도($30^{\circ}C$)에서의 성장이 제한온도($42^{\circ}C$) 성장보다 감소를 보였다. 이러한 결과에 따라서 감온성 돌연변이체를 치사군과 비치사군 및 저온민감성 감온성 돌연변이체로 분리할 수 있었다. 또한 치사군의 제한온도에서의 발육은 고체배지 및 액체배지 양쪽에서 성장을 하지 않는 반면 비치사군들의 돌연변이체들은 제한온도 $42^{\circ}C$에서 고체배지 및 액체배지의 성장은 허용온도에서 배양한 결과보다 저조한 성장을 나타내었다. 감온성 돌연변이체들은 $42^{\circ}C$에서 12시간 배양한 후 허용온도인 $30^{\circ}C$ 액체배지로 이식하여 배양한 결과 치사군중 ts-U1112, ts-D1290, ts-D1342, ts-D1504 돌연변이체들은 성장을 계속하지 않았으며, ts-U351, ts-U828, ts-U892, ts-D1350, ts-D1479, ts-D2601과 ts-D2801 돌연변이체들은 성장이 계속됨을 관찰할 수 있었다.

Sixteen temperature-sensitive mutants of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus were isolated. Several interesting phenotypes were observed. A large proportion of the mutants were un-able to form polyhedral occlusion bodies at the nonpermissive temperature (32.5C). At 32.5C, one mutant formed plaques in which the cells lacked polyhedra. Another mutant type was defective in the production of progeny extracellular nonoccluded virus and produced a plaque consisting of only a single cell containing polyhedra at 32.5C. One mutant was defective in plaque formation, progeny nonocluded virus formation, and polyhedra formation at 32.5C. Several mutants produced nonocluded virus but failed to produce plaques or polyhedra at 32.5C. Other phenotypes were also distinguished. Complementation analyses, performed by either measuring the increase in extracellular non-ocludedvirus formation or by oberving polyhedra formation in mixed infections at 32.5C, indicated the presence of 15 complementation groups. A high frequency of recombination was observed. Four of the mutants were found to be host dependent in their temperature sensitivity for polyhedra formation.

In order to study the mechanism for the adaptation to salt stress, we mutagenized budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae with Ethylmethane sulfonate, and isolated salt-tolerant mutants. Among the salt-tolerant mutants, two strains exhibit additional temperature sensitive phenotype. Here, we report that these two salt-tolerant mutants are specific to {TEX}$Na^{+}${/TEX} rather than general osmotic stress. These mutant strains may contain mutations in the genes involved in {TEX}$Na^{+}${/TEX} home-ostasis.
