Abstract
AT its morning meeting in London on December 19, 1945, the Society for General Microbiology, with Sir Alexander Fleming in the chair, discussed the question of “Variation of Cells having Bi-parent'al Inheritance”, and the papers and discussion dealt largely with the genetics of the microfungi. After a brief survey of reproduction in the microfungi by the present writer, Prof. 6. Winge, of the Carlsberg Laboratory, Copenhagen, dealt with his genetical work on yeasts, which has revolutionized our ideas of these organisms. He was followed by Dr. D. G. Catcheside, who discussed the importance of the heterothallic Ascomycetes as tools for the geneticist.
