| the genetic control of the molybdoflavoproteins in aspergillus nidulans. iv. a comparison between purine hydroxylase i and ii. | the purine hydroxylases i and ii of aspergillus nidulans [previously called xanthine dehydrogenases i and ii: scazzocchio, holl and foguelman, eur. j. biochem. 36, 428--445 (1973)] have been studied in crude extracts. the two enzymes differ in their substrate specificities, purine hydroxylase ii being able to accept nicotinate as a substrate and unable to hydroxylate xanthine. the kinetics of inhibition with allopurinol and oxypurinol are also different, the two analogues being pseudo-irreversib ... | 1978 | 363427 |
| a mutation in the xanthine dehydrogenase (purine hydroxylase i) of aspergillus nidulans resulting in altered specificity. implications for the geometry of the active site. | a point mutation in the structural gene for purine hydroxylase i (xanthine dehydrogenase) of aspergillus nidulans results in several dramatic pleiotropic effects. the mutant enzyme oxidises 2-hydroxypurine at position 6 rather than 8, shows a 70-fold reduction in the v for hypoxanthine, and loses the ability to accept xanthine as a substrate. allopurinol, a powerful pseudoirreversible inhibitor of the wild type enzyme, behaves as a good substrate of the mutant enzyme. we propose that the substra ... | 1978 | 363429 |
| [isolation and genetic study of aspergillus nidulans mutants defective in pyrimidine biosynthesis]. | 8 uridine-requiring pyr mutants were isolated from aspergillus nidulans under nitrosoguanidine treatment. all the mutants are capable to grow on the medium containing 20 mkg/ml of uridine or cytidine, or 100 mkg/ml of uracil, and they do not utilize thymidine, thymine, cytosine and deoxyuridine. their ability to grow in the presence of orotic acid demonstrates that the pyrimidine synthesis in all the mutants is blocked at stages preceding the conversion of orotic acid into orotidine monophosphat ... | 1978 | 363504 |
| a hydroxamic acid from aspergillus nidulans with antibiotic activity against proteus species. | an iron-complexing antibiotic with a narrow spectrum of biological activity was produced by several strains of aspergillus nidulans when grown in a low-iron, chemically defined medium. its chemical and biological properties closely resembled those of desferritriacetylfusigen, a metabolite of several other aspergilli and penicillia. | 1978 | 363670 |
| isolation of dna from aspergillus nidulans. | a procedure for isolation of dna from aspergillus nidulans on a preparative scale is described. mechanical disruption of lyophilized material in high-salt medium and treatment with proteinase k, followed by sedimentation of the lysate into saturated csc1 solution yielded pure, highly polymerized dna. | 1978 | 364902 |
| [presence of sexual forms (cleistothecia and hülle cells) in a case of human maxillary sinus aspergillosis caused by aspergillus nidulans in association with aspergillus fumigatus]. | the authors observed, in a biopsic sample from a human maxillary sinus, the coexistence, in parasitic stages, of two different aspergillus species: a. fumigatus and a. nidulans. after having described the morphologies of each species, in sections on slides, and particularly those of cleistothecia and hülle-cells for the second, they draw attention to the three interests of such an observation: -- rarety of observing aspergillus nidulans in a parasitic stage, in spite of its particular thermotole ... | 1978 | 366429 |

| an "up-promotor" mutation affecting the acetamidase of aspergillus nidulans. | a derivative of an area200 strain of aspergillus nidulans selected for strong growth on acetamide as the sole nitrogen source was found to have a mutation, amd-18, closely linked to amds, the acetamidase structural gene. this mutation results in 2--3 fold higher acetamidase activities than wildtype strains in uninduced as well as induced cultures. the effects of the amd-18 mutation are superimposed on the effects of other regulatory mutations affecting the acetamidase. the amd-18 mutation is cis ... | 1978 | 368568 |
| lactam utilisation in aspergillus nidulans: evidence for a fourth gene under the control of the integrator gene inta. | mutations in the lama gene of aspergillus nidulans prevent the conversion of exogenous 2-pyrrolidone (gamma-butyrolactam) to gamma-amino-n-butyrate (gaba) and also prevent the (probably analogous) utilisation of 2-piperidone (sigma-valerolactam). the lama gene, in linkage group viii, probably specifies a lactamase but a rôle in lactam uptake cannot be ruled out. lama is probably under the control of the positive acting regulatory gene inta, which can integrate its expression with the expression ... | 1978 | 368580 |

| [use of a pyrimidine-dependent mutant for effective labeling of the dna of aspergillus nidulans]. | incorporation of the radioactive label from pyrimidines into rna and dna of an aspergillus nidulans pyrimidine-dependent mutant was studied. the label from [14c2]uridine was incorporated at the highest rate into both fractions of nucleic acids from a. nidulans of the wild type and pyr-mutant. the content of the label in the dna of the pyr-mutant was several times higher than that in the wild type dna. therefore, pyr-mutants can be used in order to study molecular-genetic processes in the cells o ... | 1978 | 370508 |
| [metabolic pathways of exogenous pyrimidines in aspergillus nidulans]. | studies on the susceptibility of the wild-type strain of aspergillus nidulans to 6-azauracil suggest that it synthesizes pyrimidines using a by-pass pathway which is induced with 6-azauracil. the effect of a series of pyrimidines on the toxic action of 5-fluorouracil, 5-fluorouidine and 5-fluorodeoxyuridine has been investigated. as the result of these studies, a scheme is proposed for the metabolism of some pyrimidine bases and nucleosides in aso. nidulans. | 1979 | 370519 |

| induced quantitative variation for penicillin titre in clonal populations of aspergillus nidulans. | the variation in penicillin titre within populations of cultures of aspergillus nidulans derived from untreated conidia and from conidia treated with ethyl methanesulphonate (ems), near-ultraviolet light in the presence of 8-methoxypsoralen (8mop) or n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine (ntg), each at several dose levels, was determined. both mutagentreated and untreated populations showed a continuous distribution of pencillin titres. the population mean titre of the mutagenized populations was ... | 1979 | 372487 |
| induced segregation in interspecific hybrids of aspergillus nidulans and aspergillus rugulosus obtained by protoplast fusion. | interspecific hybrids produced by polyethylene glycol induced fusion of protoplasts from auxotrophic mutants of aspergillus nidulans and aspergillus rugulosus were grown in the presence of the recombinogens benomyl and chloral hydrate to stimulate segregation. the a. nidulans parental strains used had a known genetic marker in each linkage group. hybrids grown on complete medium containing benomyl yielded more segregants. analysis of the segregants showed that the distribution of a. nidulans lin ... | 1979 | 372762 |
| cis-dominant regulatory mutations affecting the expression of gaba permease in aspergillus nidulans. | in aspergillus nidulans expression of the gaba gene, the probable structural gene for the gamma-amino-n-butyrate (gaba) permease, is controlled by induction, via the inta gene, ammonium repression, mediated by the area gene, and probably carbon catabolite repression. regulatory mutations, tightly linked to gaba, were selected by reverting an arear-2 strain on gaba as nitrogen source. these mutations, gabi-1, gabi-2, and gabi-3 result in increased gaba expression and are cis-dominant in their eff ... | 1979 | 375001 |
| the regulation of hexokinase and phosphoglucomutase activity in aspergillus nidulans. | the levels of glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in wildtype cells of aspergillus nidulans varied with the carbon and nitrogen source. in general, hexokinase activity did not vary with carbon or nitrogen source. the ammonium derepressed mutant amra1 had only 50% of the wildtype level of hexokinase. phosphoglucomutase activity was low in wildtype cells grown with nitrate, but high in cells grown with ammonium when glucose was the carbon source. a non-inducible mutant, nira-1 ... | 1979 | 375022 |
| molecular cloning of the 4.2 md ecori fragment of aspergillus nidulans mitochondrial dna. | the 4.2 md ecori fragment of aspergillus nidulans mitochondrial dna was cloned using the plasmid pbr 332 as vector and e. coli as host. hitherto unknown sequence of hindiii sites within this region of mitochondrial genome was established. | 1979 | 375024 |
| the ability of ionizing radiations of different let to induce chromosomal deletions in aspergillus nidulans. | conidia, derived from a strain of aspergillus nidulans known to carry a specific chromosomal duplication, were irradiated. the duplicated segment had genetic markers, which, when eliminated from the genome, allowed the easy detection of deletion mutants. survival curves derived following 15 mev electron and gamma-ray irradiation were characterised by the presence of an appreciable shoulder, whilst 50 kvp x-rays gave a much smaller shoulder. irradiation with beta-particles and alpha-particles gav ... | 1979 | 375074 |

| [uv-induced dna degradation in aspergillus nidulans cells]. | uv-induced dna degradation was studied in mycellial cells of aspergillus nidulans wild type and several uvs mutants. it was shown to be an enzymatic specific process which possibly reflects the excision of pyrimidine dimers from uv-damaged dna. inhibition of dna degradation by caffeine and 2,4-dinitrophenol shows the connection between degradation and repair of dna. two ways of dna degradation were found in a. nidulans cells, one of them being glucose dependent and the other--glucose independent ... | 1979 | 381100 |
| aspergillus nidulans as a test organism for assessing radio-induced chromosomal non-disjunction. | a genetically marked heterozygous diploid of aspergillus nidulans was synthesized and the feasibility of using this system for the simultaneous estimation of radio-induced mitotic crossing-over and non-disjunction has been investigated. in the case of the latter, serious experimental problems have been encountered. nevertheless, induction curves for non-disjunction with 15-mev electrons, 50-kvp x-rays, beta-particles and alpha-particles are presented showing an increase in non-disjunction with i ... | 1979 | 381904 |

| do the tightly linked structural genes for nitrate and nitrite reductases in aspergillus nidulans form an operon? evidence from an insertional translocation which separates them. | previous work (rand and arst, 1977) led to the proposal that the nis-5 mutation results in a new low activity promoter for niia, the structural gene for nitrite reductase in aspergillus nidulans. expression of niia via this promoter differs from expression of niia via its normal promoter/initiator in that expression by the new promoter is not subject to nitrate induction or ammonium repression. nis-5 reduces but does not abolish niia expression mediated by the normal promoter/initiator. in this ... | 1979 | 384164 |
| analysis of mitotic nondisjunction with aspergillus nidulans. | two methods to detect the induction of nondisjunction with a diploid stable strain of a. nidulans are described. the first method gives only qualitative results, while the second method is quantitative and dose-effect curves can be done. some physiological parameters affecting the induction of nondisjunction can also be studied, because either quiescent or germinating conidia can be treated with the drug under test. some agents inducing nondisjunction were also tested for the induction of point ... | 1979 | 387402 |

| phenotypes of double conidiation mutants of aspergillus nidulans. | a series of strains, doubly mutant at conidiation loci, have been made. the phenotypes of these strains reflected the epistasy of earlier blocking mutants over later ones and confirmed the order of gene sequence predicted from the phenotypes of single mutants. oligosporogenous mutants gave complex interactions, especially between brl and med mutants. these results indicated that (i) gene action overlapped in time, (ii) several parts of the conidial apparatus were interchangeable and (iii) nuclei ... | 1979 | 396353 |
| evidence that p-fluorophenylalanine has a direct effect on tubulin in aspergillus nidulans. | three temperature-sensitive alleles of bena (bena11, 17 and 21) confer resistance to growth inhibition by p-fluorophenylalanine (fpa). fpa resistance cosegregates with the bena gene. two back-mutations in bena which cause loss of temperature sensitivity cause loss of fpa resistance, and two indirect suppressors of bena temperature sensitivity also cause fpa resistance to be lost. these results indicate that fpa resistance is an intrinsic property of the bena mutations. the intracellular phenylal ... | 1979 | 396355 |
| protoplasts from aspergillus nidulans. | a very effective lytic enzyme system for massive micro/macro-scale production of protoplasts from the filamentous fungus aspergillus nidulans is described. a striking coincidence was observed between maximal lytic activity towards aspergillus mycelium and the presece of both chitinase and alpha-(1 leads to 3)-glucanase activities. the release of protoplasts was greatly enhanced by preincubating the mycelium with 2-deoxy-d-glucose. furthermore, protoplast formation was influenced by fungal age, c ... | 1979 | 399317 |

| cholorate toxicity in aspergillus nidulans: the selection and characterisation of chlorate resistant mutants. | mutation in at least ten genes can result in chlorate reistance in aspergillus nidulans. mutation in seven of these genes also results in the inability to use nitrate as nitrogen source. the various classes of resistant mutant obtained occur in different proportions, depending on whether or not a mutagenic treatment is employed, and also on which nitrogen source is used for selection. the prinicipal effect of mutagen arises because mutations in the niad gene, the nitrate reductase structural gen ... | 1976 | 773908 |

| the isolation of nuclei from the filamentous fungus aspergillus nidulans. | a method has been developed for isolating nuclei from the filamentous fungus aspergillus nidulans. in this procedure, the mycelia from 14 to 16 h spore-derived cultures of a. nidulans nri, a stable diploid strain, were frozen with liquid nitrogen and homogenized in a waring blender. after homogenization, the mycelia were warmed to 4 degrees c and the nuclei were purified from the homogenate by differential centrifugation followed by sedimentation through 2.1 m-sucrose. the final nuclear yield wa ... | 1976 | 778331 |

| enhancement of tissue invasion in murine aspergillosis by systemic administration of suspensions of killed corynebacterium parvum. | the effect of killed corynebacterium parvum vaccine on the course of murine aspergillosis is described. a grid-counting technique was employed to quantitate tissue invasion by aspergillus nidulans in the brain, heart, and kidneys (the target organs) of normal mice and of mice treated systemically with killed c. parvum vaccine. simultaneous treatment of mice with c. parvum and a. nidulans significantly increased the mortality rate, in contrast to treatment of mice with c. parvum prior to or follo ... | 1976 | 779492 |

| nucleosome structure in aspergillus nidulans. | the structure of chromatin from aspergillus nidulans was studied using micrococcal nuclease and dnaase i. limited digestion with micrococcal nuclease revealed a nucleosomal repeat of 154 base pairs for aspergillus and 198 base pairs for rat liver. with more extensive digestion, both types of chromatin gave a similar quasi-limit product with a prominent fragment at 140 base pairs. the similarity of the two limit digests suggests that the structure of the 140 base pair nucleosome core is conserved ... | 1976 | 782724 |

| chloral hydrate induced haploidization in aspergillus nidulans. | this is the first report of induction of haploidization in aspergillus nidulans by chloral hydrate, which is an efficient polyploidizing agent for higher plants and a psychotropic drug for man. a new procedure has been described to isolate haploids from diploids with a very high frequency, as compared to p-fluorophenylalanine, which is generally used for this purpose. | 1976 | 786720 |
| fungal infections after renal transplantation. | fungal infections occurred in 3 of 22 renal transplants (13.6%). two patients developed rhinocerebral phycomycosis, and rhizopus arrhizus was isolated from cultures of the nasal conchae. both patients were treated with systemic amphotericin b. three-and-a-half months after transplantation the third patient developed an acute ureteral obstruction secondary to infection with aspergillus nidulans; this necessitated removal of the graft. there was no immediate mortality associated with these fungal ... | 1976 | 786944 |
| the genetic instability and mutagenic interaction of chromosomal duplications present together in haploid strains of aspergillus nidulans. | previous work has shown that strains of aspergillus nidulans with a chromosome segment in duplicate (one in normal position, one translocated to another chromosome) are unstable. deletions occur from either duplicate segment. the present work has shown that when a chromosome i duplication and a chromosome iii duplication are together in a haploid, deletions from the intact iii duplication generally precede deletions from particular sections of the i duplication. furthermore, the iii duplication ... | 1976 | 787776 |
| the use of analytical electron microscopy in the study of three species of aspergillaceae. | the combination of electron beam scanning and x-ray detection allows to use the scanning electron probe microanalyzer as a sensitive microscope to elemental constitution. this made it possible to investigate three species of the aspergillus nidulans group: a. nidulans, a. unguis, a. variecolor. qualitative differences were found between the three species. the application of microanalysis is regarded as a useful addition to more conventional methods used in histochemical studies. the advantages o ... | 1975 | 787898 |

| mitosis, septation, branching and the duplication cycle in aspergillus nidulans. | mitosis, septation and branching were studied in undifferentiated mycelia and leading hyphae of aspergillus nidulans, a mould which forms incomplete septa. after spore germination, nuclei divided synchronously until germ-tube hyphae contained 8 or 16 nuclei; mitosis occurred when the volume of cytoplasm per haploid nucleus was about 60 mum3. intercompartment development was not synchronized, consequently mitosis in the mycelium as a whole eventually became asynchronous. during the stage of async ... | 1976 | 796408 |
| formation of nadph-nitrate reductase activity in vitro from aspergillus nidulans niad and cnx mutants. | mutants of a. nidulans at several loci lack detectable nadph-nitrate reductase activity. these loci include niad, the structural gene for the nitrate reductase polypeptide, and five other loci termed cnxabc, e, f, g and h which are presumed to be involved in the formation of a molybdenum-containing component (mcc) necessary for nitrate reductase activity. when forzen mycelia from a. nidulans deletion mutant niad26 were homogenized in a ten broeck homogenizer together with frozen mycelia from eit ... | 1976 | 796678 |
