| ultrastructural changes in rhizopus stolonifer sporangiospores in response to anaerobiosis. | rhizopus stolonifer sporangiospores developed prominent ultrastructural changes under anoxia. mitochondria were scattered randomly throughout the cytoplasm in spores incubated aerobically for 3 hr, but moved to the periphery of the cytoplasm when the spores were exposed to anoxia. endoplasmic reticulum, inconspicuous in control spores, appeared near the plasmalemma and was frequently found connected to a nuclear membrane. the cytoplasm, otherwise usually uniformly dense and containing abundant r ... | 1969 | 5784225 |
| organization of enzymes in the common aromatic synthetic pathway: evidence for aggregation in fungi. | centrifugation in sucrose density gradients of partially purified extracts from six species of fungi, i.e., rhizopus stolonifer, phycomyces nitens, absidia glauca (phycomycetes), aspergillus nidulans (ascomycetes), coprinus lagopus, and ustilago maydis (basidiomycetes), indicate that the five enzymes catalyzing steps two to six in the prechorismic acid part of the polyaromatic synthetic pathway sediment together. the sedimentation coefficients for these enzymes are very similar in the six specie ... | 1969 | 5802608 |

| fungistatic effects of controlled atmospheres. | the fungistatic effects of controlled atmospheres composed of increased co(2) and decreased o(2) was studied in a manner such that the condition of stored fruit was not a factor in the growth of the fungi. varying concentrations of o(2) and co(2) were used. the fungi used were botrytis alli, rhizopus nigricans, and penicillium expansum. the results showed that controlled atmospheres, within the limits of concentrations usable for fruit storage, are effective fungistatic agents. | 1966 | 5951331 |

| mechanism of fumaric acid accumulation in rhizopus nigricans. | it is doubtful that the glyoxylate bypass plays a significant role in the accumulation of fumaric acid by fungi, as has been postulated. in high glucose media, which favor fumarate production, isocitrate lyase (threo-d(s) isocitrate glyoxylate lyase), which is the key enzyme of the glyoxylate bypass, is strongly repressed. the specific activity of this enzyme remains low as long as glucose is present in the medium, even though fumarate formation proceeds at a high level. in addition, the activit ... | 1967 | 6020565 |
| control of malate synthase formation in rhizopus nigricans. | the control of malate synthase formation in a fumaric acid-producing strain of rhizopus nigricans has been found to be similar in most respects to that of isocitrate lyase, the companion enzyme of the glyoxylate bypass. a basal level is formed in a casein hydrolysate medium, which is repressed by glucose. utilization of glucose during growth results in relief of glucose repression. any factor which stimulates growth promotes relief of glucose repression by enhancing the incorporation of represso ... | 1967 | 6074401 |
| substrate effect on 2,3-butylene glycol production by rhizopus nigricans and penicillium expansum. | rhizopus nigricans and penicillium expansum produced 2,3-butylene glycol which accumulated in natural and artificial media with time. mycelial mats of p. expansum decreased the quantity of a diacetyl substrate and converted part of this substrate into acetylmethylcarbinol (amc) and 2,3-butylene glycol. mycelial mats of p. expansum also decreased amc substrate with the formation of 2,3-butylene glycol. 2,3-butylene glycol decreased slightly during incubation with the fungal mat. the formation of ... | 1967 | 6080717 |

| aflatoxin and aflatoxicosis. i. fungal flora of some food and animal feeds with special references to aflatoxin-producing abilities. | a wide range of fungi, amounting to fifty-six species belonging to twenty-two genera, have been recovered from animal feeds and foodstuffs. the most frequent fungi were aspergillus niger, and a. flavus, followed by mucor racemosus, alternaria alternata. rhizopus stolonifer, penicillium corylophilum and p. notatum. three genera were found to be of moderate occurrence, namely, mucor, rhizopus and alternaria. the three following genera were of low occurrence: cladosporium, fusarium, and neurospora. ... | 1982 | 7070483 |
| ultrastructure of spores of rhizopus nigricans after repeated freezing and thawing shocks. | disintegration of nuclear envelopes is the only ultrastructural change detectable by freeze-etching in dormant spores of the mould rhizopus nigricans, both dry and swollen, subjected to repeated freezing and thawing. the increase of the number of freeze-inactivated spores corresponds well with the increase of the number of damaged nuclei. this fact led us to formulate a hypothesis that the structure of the nucleus is the primary target of the freezing or thawing damage. as other biomembranes are ... | 1980 | 7399373 |
| studies on fungi associated with tomato fruits and effectiveness of some commercial fungicides against three pathogens. | among 39 fungal species and one variety belonging to 16 genera isolated from 116 healthy tomato fruits collected from markets in assiut, egypt, during 1994, aspergillus niger was found to be the most prevalent, being isolated from 84.6% of the samples. of 11 species recovered from 156 diseased tomatoes, alternaria alternata, rhizopus stolonifer and a. niger were the most common and isolated from 52.7%, 35.9% and 25.0% of the samples, respectively. experiments for comparison of the effects of med ... | 1995 | 7566057 |
| contribution of selected fungi to the reduction of cyanogen levels during solid substrate fermentation of cassava. | the effect of six individual strains of the dominant microflora in solid substrate fermenting cassava on cyanogen levels was examined. six out of eight batches of disinfected cassava root pieces were incubated for 72 h after inoculation with either of the fungi geotrichum candidum, mucor racemosus, neurospora sitophila, rhizopus oryzae and rhizopus stolonifer, or a bacillus sp., isolated from on-farm fermented cassava flours from uganda. one non-inoculated batch was incubated as a reference. lev ... | 1995 | 7577362 |
| the role of cytochrome p450(11 alpha) in detoxification of steroids in the filamentous fungus rhizopus nigricans. | the evidence was presented that steroid hydroxylating enzyme complex induced by substrate in the filamentous fungus rhizopus nigricans (r. nigricans) alleviated toxic effect(s) of the steroid on fungal growth. the growth inhibition of fungal mycelium observed in steroid-containing culture(s) became much more obvious when fungal mycelia were grown in the simultaneous presence of inducing steroid and the p450(11 alpha) inhibitor metyrapone. on the other hand, in experiments where we followed the f ... | 1995 | 7696148 |
| synthesis of enantio-manoyl oxides: modifiers of the activity of adenylatecyclase enzyme. | cyclization of methyl ent-8 alpha-hydroxylabd-13(16),14-dien-18-oate with m-chloroperbenzoic acid gave methyl (13s)-ent-16-hydroxy-8 alpha,13-epoxylabd-14-en-18-oate and its epimer at c-13. biotransformation of the former (which exhibits antileishmania activity) with rhizopus nigricans cultures produced the methyl (13s)-ent-11 beta,16-dihydroxy-8 alpha,13-epoxilabd-14-en-18-oate (carbomanoyl, which inhibits the activity of the adenylatecyclase enzyme), methyl (13s)-ent-3 beta,16-dihydroxy-8 alph ... | 1995 | 7772300 |
