Abstract
This communication presents in greater detail methods previously used and the pertinent physiological observations which led to the development of the technique. By using cryobiological methods it is possible to enrich for auxotrophs by means of the effects of either dehydration or the formation of intracellular ice. Neurospora crassa was used.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
