Abstract
Pigmentation mutants of Gracilaria tikvahiae that differed in several ways from the brownish colour of wild type were characterized genetically by complementation and recombination. Thirty cistrons with multiple alleles at several loci were identified. Many of the cistrons were genetically linked with one or more other loci, and the beginnings of a linkage map is presented. Examples of intragenic recombination between noncomplementing mutants were also encountered.
