By using the scanning electron microscope the morphological deviations of 17 colour mutants of Aspergillus fumigatus were characterized. These mutants originated by genetic blocks in various stages of conidiophores and conidia differentiation. The complementation test was carried out with the light-pigmented mutants. The group of allelic strains was found and 4 diploid strains were isolated.
