| [the effect of cytochalasin a on the composition of subcellular fractions of hyphae in the growth of mucor mucedo. ii. composition of the cell wall]. | walls of young hyphae of mucor mucedo l. growing in the presence or absence of cytochalasin a were isolated and their chemical content determined. cytochalasin a induced modified proportions of various monomers resulting in a reduction of the (neutral sugars + glucuronic acid)/glucosamine ratio. the walls contained less proteins but more chitin-chitosan and phosphate. these modifications are discussed in relation to ultrastructural changes described previously. | 1988 | 3208202 |
| morphogenesis in mucor mucedo: mutations affecting gamone response and organ differentiation. | mutants of mucor mucedo minus strain that are affected in their trisporic acid (ta) mediated zygophore formation have been isolated. we have found mutants with cold sensitive (cs), with temperature sensitive (ts) and without zygophore formation as well as mutants with unstable zygophores (zst-). from the appearence of certain pleiotropic phenotypes we deduce a one-dimensional sequence of states of competence of the mycelium to form different organs. ta appears to be a growth substance for zygoph ... | 1978 | 634277 |
| the hyphal wall of mucor mucedo. 2. hexosamine-containing polymers. | nitrous acid, which specifically depolymerises polymers containing hexosamines with a primary amino group, was used to analyse the hexosamine-containing polymers in the hyphal wall of mucor mucedo. n-acetylglucosamine was found to occur in three polymeric fractions. one fraction which was solubilised by hno2 treatment contained-n-acetylglucosamine interspersed with glucosamine; no homopolymer of glucosamine (chitosan) was detected. another fraction became hno2-soluble after treatment with pronas ... | 1977 | 923598 |
| the hyphal wall of mucor mucedo. 1. polyanionic polymers. | treatment of isolated hyphal walls of mucor mucedo with nitrous acid resulted in the release of two water-soluble polyanions: (a) a glycuronan, containing all the neutral sugars and uronic acid present in the hyphal wall and (b) an inorganic polyphosphate. the glycuronan could also be extracted quantitatively with salt solutions of high ionic strength and partially with a solution of potassium hydroxide. this is presented as evidence that the glycuronan is a genuine constituent of the cell wall, ... | 1977 | 923597 |
| [mode of action of terrazoleon mucor mucedo]. | it is assumed that the fungistatic effect of terrazol in mucor mucedo is induced by a liberation of phospholipases within within the mitochondria and perhaps at other membranes. in isolated mitochondria a rapid formation of lysolecithin can be demonstrated at low concentrations of terrazol. this would explain the lytic symptoms in mitochondria visible by electron microscopy. lipid peroxidation could not be demonstrated. the only antidots at present known for the growth inhibiting effect of terra ... | 1977 | 868082 |
| [effect of terrazol on the ultrastructure of mucor mucedo]. | terrazol, a systemic fungicide showing high specifity to oomycetes, inhibits the apical growth of hyphae and promotes at lower concentrations the thickening of the cell wall in mucor mucedo. as revealed by ultrastructural analysis, particularly the fine structure of some membrane systems is influenced. in the first place the inner membrane of the mitochondria is attacked leading to a complete lysis of mitochondria. however, the sensitivities within a given population are different. the plasmalem ... | 1975 | 1210350 |
| sex specificity of hormone synthesis in mucor mucedo. | sex specificity is observed in mating types of the fungus oucor mucedo with respect to the production of 4-hydroxy methltrisporates (plus mating type) and trisporins (minus mating type), and in the conversion of these metabolites to trisporic acids by the mating partner. these compounds induce zygophores on the opposite mating type only. | 1975 | 1115561 |

| hormonal interactions in mucor mucedo and blakeslea trispora. | evidence is presented that progametangia in both the plus and the minus mating types of mucor mucedo can be induced by one substance, namely (-)-trisporic acid b. a method is described for the determination of the concentration of the sex factors (trisporone, trisporic acid b, trisporic acid c) in mated cultures of mucorales by polarography. it can be demonstrated that the amount of plus mycelium is limiting for the production of the sex factors in blakeslea trispora. it is shown that the minus ... | 1970 | 5413820 |
| 4-dihydromethyltrisporate dehydrogenase, an enzyme of the sex hormone pathway in mucor mucedo, is constitutively transcribed but its activity is differently regulated in (+) and (-) mating types. | 4-dihydromethyltrisporate dehydrogenase (tdh) converts the (+) mating type sex pheromone 4-dihydromethyltrisporate into methyltrisporate. in mucor mucedo, this conversion is required only in the (-) mating type. expression of the tdh encoding tsp1 gene was analyzed qualitatively using reverse-transcribed pcr. tsp1 is constitutively transcribed in the (+) and in the (-) mating type, irrespective of the mating situation. by immunodetection, the translation product is also formed constitutively. in ... | 2005 | 16043374 |
| biological activity of trisporoids and trisporoid analogues in mucor mucedo (-). | in the course of their sexual interactions, zygomycete fungi communicate via an elaborate series of carotene-derived compounds, namely trisporic acid and its biosynthetic progenitors. a novel building-block strategy allowed the systematic generation of structurally modified trisporoids along with putative early biosynthetic precursors for physiological tests. the impact of discrete structural elements was documented by the ability of individual compounds to induce sexually committed hyphae in mu ... | 2005 | 15913673 |
