The fungal strain Penicillium funiculosum NRPL- 6014 was exposed to UV- irradiation at 20cm distance from the lamp for .4, 6, 8, 10 and 15 minutes. About 100 mutants were isolated, as auxotropbic or/and morphological variants, and screened for dextranase activity qualitatively. Forty mutants proved to be enzyme producers and were chosen for quantitative determination of the enzyme. Results indicated that 30 mutants produced the enzyme more than the wild type, 6 of which gave dextranase activity two fold or more of the original parent, whereas the remaining 10 mutants produced the enzyme less than the W.T strain. Four different mutants were chosen for protoplast fusion, according to enzyme activity, antifungal agents response and morphological variants, in three cross combinations (a), (b) and (c) in which mutant No. 18 was common parent.
