A culture of Aspergillus niger van Tieghem (American Type Culture Collection No. 1004) was subjected to soft X-rays. From this treatment there was obtained a mutant strain differing in appearance and metabolism from the parent culture. The mutant and normal strains were investigated with respect to their individual growth characteristics, glucose utilization, citric acid production, and response to growth factors; and chemical analyses were made of the dried mats.
