Chromosomal studies on the genus of Rhizopus -II. Chromosomal studies on 17 species of the genus Rhizopus-

Rhizopus屬의 染色體에 關한 硏究(第二報) -II. Rhizopus 17種에 對하여-

After the previous paper, this chromosomal studies on the fungi were dealt with 17 species in genus of Rhizopus. The results are sumarized as the followings; The haploid chromosome number of 17 species were confirmed as of 6(Rh. oligosporus), 8(Rh. homothallicus, Rh. liquefaciens, Rh. shanghaiensis, Rh, acetorinus), 12(Rh. microsporus, Rh. pseudochinensis, Rh, rhizopodiformis, Rh, thermosus, and Rh. kazanensis), 14(Rh. stolonifer), and 16(Rh. suinus), respectively. Referring to the above fact and the previous paper, it is strongly presumed that the basic chromosome number of Rhizopus are 4.
