ABSTRACT

A microbiological model of two-stage experimental carcinogenesis is described. Induction of tumor-like growth in mycelial fungus Fusarium bulbigenum var. blasticola culture was shown to include (1) initiation by carcinogenic mutagens and (2) promotion or reversible morpho-energy transformation of the cell.
