Two protocols are presented that allow the selection of mutations mapping to micronuclear chromosome5inTetrahymena thermophilia. One protocol involves crossing mutagenized diploid cells directly to a strain nullisomic for chromosome5and screening the monosomic progeny for a mutant phenotype. The second protocol first takes the mutagenized diploid cells through round I of genomic exclusion to create useful and reusable mutant heterokaryons, which are then assayed for the presence of mutations on chromosome5by crossing to the nullisomic5strain. Of 14 putative chromosome5mutations obtained by these two methods, seven are shown by genetic analysis to be recessive mutations on chromosome5; one mapped elsewhere in the genome; six were infertile or failed to yield progeny in some of the diagnostic crosses and, thus, their genetic nature could not be determined with certainty.
