From a nice strain of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, which requires nicotinic acid, ten revertants were isolated and analyaed for micelial elongation. MSE sunicB strains were grown at different conditions of incubation and culture media. The experiment was carried out five times, and the colonies diameters were measured daily. The micelial elongation of nicB suppressors was statistically evaluated by the ''t'' test for growth efficiency, and by the ''split-plot factorial design'' method for variance analysis. A genetic heterogeneity among the strains was observed.
