About this work

Description

The NRDC planned to contribute to the applied side of Pontecorvo's research "with a view ultimately to testing out the practical results on a pilot-plant scale" and they were keen to employ a researcher to work under Pontecorvo's supervision. Pontecorvo was keen to stress that they would be investigating the applicability of his technique to "species of industrial importance other than Aspergillus niger" as he had already discovered that genetic recombination occured in this asexual species.

Also includes copy of a letter sent from Pontecorvo to Sir Hector Hetherington explaining the joint research scheme.
