| colonial growth and ramihyphin a-induced changes in cell walls of neurospora sitophila. | colonial growth of neurospora sitophila phenotypically induced by ramihyphin a is accompanied by marked changes in the contents of dna, rna and proteins in the mycelium, and in the relative proportion of hexoses in cell wall hydrolysates. the glucosamine/glucose ratio is also characteristic for colonial growth. x-ray analysis of cell walls showed that ramilhyphin a suppresses the crystalline arrangement of chitin in cell walls. a combination of microbiological, biochemical and physico-chemical m ... | 1976 | 976877 |
| inversions and recombinations in mitochondrial dna of the (sg-1) cytoplasmic mutant in two neurospora species. | the mitochondrial dnas of [sg-1] cytoplasmically-mutant and wild-type strains of neurospora crassa and neurospora sitophila were examined by comparative restriction endonuclease analyses. the mtdna of n. sitophila wild type of whitehouse differs from type ii mtdna of n. crassa by insertions of 3.3 kb in ecori-9, and 1.2 kb in ecori-3, and a deletion of 1.1 kb in ecori-5. these dna heteromorphisms provided convenient markers for tracing n. crassa [sg-1] mtdna during and after its transfer into n. ... | 1986 | 2832078 |

| 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 |

| nucleotide sequence requirements for self-cleavage of neurospora vs rna. | we have used several complementary approaches to investigate the minimal contiguous sequence required for the in vitro self cleavage reaction performed by neurospora vs rna. deletion analysis and site-directed mutagenesis revealed that only a single nucleotide is required upstream of the self-cleavage site, and that the identity of this nucleotide is not critical. this distinguishes vs rna from all currently known ribozymes except hepatitis delta virus rna. the shortest contiguous sequence capab ... | 1993 | 8345516 |

| evolution of the frequency (frq) clock locus in ascomycete fungi. | the frequency (frq) locus of neurospora crassa plays a key role in the organization of circadian rhythms. similar timing systems have been found in nearly all eukaryotes as well as some prokaryotes; thus, frq may be an excellent gene with which to conduct evolutionary studies. to investigate, we used the cloned frq locus from ascomycete fungi representing two classical taxonomic classes and three orders to examine two open questions in ascomycete evolution. class pyrenomycetidae is represented b ... | 1996 | 8896376 |

| fungal strains isolated from cork stoppers and the formation of 2,4,6-trichloroanisole involved in the cork taint of wine. | cork taint is mainly due to 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (tca) produced through the activity of undesirable fungal strains. we observed that cfu mould number in tca-containing stoppers was not quantitatively different to that of the stoppers not containing tca (ca. 10(5)cfu/g). in contrast more fungi diversity was observed in tca-containing stoppers. penicillium spp (penicillium chrysogenum, penicillium glabrum), aspergillus spp (aspergillus niger and aspergillus oryzae), chrysonilia sitophila, mucor ... | 2007 | 17188205 |

| spore killer, a chromosomal factor in neurospora that kills meiotic products not containing it. | three chromosomal factors called spore killer (sk) have been found in wild populations of neurospora sitophila and n. intermedia. sk resembles other examples of meiotic drive such as segregation distorter in drosophila, pollen killer in wheat, and gamete eliminator in tomato. in crosses heterozygous for sk, each ascus contains four viable black ascospores and four inviable, undersize, clear ascospores, with second-division segregations infrequent. the survivors contain the killer allele sk(k), w ... | 1979 | 17248973 |

| biocontrol activity of bacillus subtilis isolated from agaricus bisporus mushroom compost against pathogenic fungi. | bacillus subtilis strain b154, isolated from agaricus bisporus mushroom compost infected by red bread mold, exhibited antagonistic activities against neurospora sitophila. antifungal activity against phytopathogenic fungi was also observed. the maximum antifungal activity was reached during the stationary phase. this antifungal activity was stable over a wide ph and temperature range and was not affected by proteases. assay of antifungal activity in vitro indicated that a purified antifungal sub ... | 2015 | 26050784 |
| mechanisms of increased linamarin degradation during solid-substrate fermentation of cassava. | several fungi and bacteria, isolated from ugandan domestic fermented cassava, released hcn from linamarin in defined growth media. in 72 h, a bacillus sp. decreased the linamarin to 1% of initial concentrations, mucor racemosus to 7%, rhizopus oryzae and r. stolonifer to 30%, but neurospora sitophila and geotrichum candidum hardly degraded the linamarin. adding pectolytic and cellulolytic enzymes, but not linamarase, to root pieces under aseptic conditions, led to root softening and significantl ... | 1995 | 24414645 |
