1. Saltants have been produced in the fungus Chaetomium globosum by longer wave lengths than previously reported—by 365 mµ and by a visible line 404 mµ.
2. Absence at these wave lengths of the K saltant, which is so abundant at short wave lengths, is marked.
3. Ratio of percentage irradiated spores germinating to control spores germinating decreases from 83 per cent at 265 mµ, a short ultraviolet wave length, to 57 per cent at 404 mµ, a visible violet wave length.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
