✦ Synopsis

Egg whites of Phasianus colchicus containing conalbumin of the heterozygous type show a stronger inhibitory effect on the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae than egg whites with conalbumin of the common homozygous type. This fact is interpreted as an example of heterosis at the molecular level.
