Abstract
Phenotypes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Rhodotorula rubra exposed to spe cific parameters of space flight, which were measured both quantitatively a nd qualitatively, produced variations in pseudohyphal formation. Both the l ength of the parent and branch pseudohyphal filaments varied according to s pecific wavelengths and energy levels of UV light exposures when phenotypic isolates were compared with the parent or ground control isolate of each y east species.
