β¦ Synopsis
The technique of protoplast fusion has been applied to the problem of unstable diploidy in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis. By protoplast fusion between heterothallic strains of like mating-type, sporulationdeficient hybrids can be obtained. Biochemical, cytological, and genetical characterisation of these hybrids suggests that the majority of fusion products are diploid. Sporulating hybrids can be constructed by protoplast fusion between homothallic strains. Tetrad analysis of these hybrids demonstrates conclusively the diploid nature of fusion products.

The growth of two strains of the "petite-negative" yeast Kluyveromyces lactis is inhibited by Tetracycline in different ways under the same culture conditions. Tetracycline resistant mutants of one strain have been isolated which can tolerate doses as high as 3000 microgram/ml of antibiotic. The seg
