fatty acid distribution in mycelial lipid of choanephora cucurbitarum. 19665956921
involvement of cell surface sugars in recognition, attachment, and appressorium formation by a mycoparasite.fluorescein isothiocyanate labeled lectin binding techniques have revealed differences in the distribution pattern of glycosyl residues at the cell wall level between fungi that are hosts and those that are nonhosts of the mycoparasite piptocephalis virginiana, and at the protoplast level between compatible and incompatible hosts. the cell wall of the compatible hosts (choanephora cucurbitarum and mortierella pusilla) and an incompatible host (phascolomyces articulosus), as well as that of the m ...199022049937
a review of factors affecting biosynthesis of carotenoids by the order mucorales.this is a review of factors affecting carotenogenesis by the order mucorales which includes phycomyces blakesleeanus, choanephora cucurbitarum and blakeslea trispora. the mucorales have opposite sex types and when mated, beta-carotene production is increased 15 to 20 times. trisporic acids are the substances produced upon mating which stimulate carotenogenesis. structural analogs have been shown to mimic the actions of the trisporic acids. the common denominator of the stimulators is the ionone ...19853892300
cytosolic and membrane-bound chitinases of two mucoraceous fungi: a comparative study.chitinases isolated from membrane and cytosolic fractions of two mucoraceous fungi, choanephora cucurbitarum and phascolomyces articulosus, were investigated. the membrane-bound chitinase was isolated by bio-gel p-100 and deae bio-gel a chromatographic techniques. on sds-page the chitinase from both fungi migrated as a single band of m(r) 66 kda. the cytosolic chitinase from the mycelial extracts of these fungi was separated by heat treatment, ammonium sulphate precipitation, and by affinity chr ...19921611560
hormone-like substances which increase carotenogenesis in + and - sexes of choanephora cucurbitarum. 19675584627
increased production of carotene by mixed + and - cultures of choanephora cucurbitarum. 195613281494
effect of variou cultural conditions on the fatty acid and lipid composition of choanephora cucurbitarum.the fatty acid composition of the total and polar lipid fractions of choanephora cucurbitarum grown under different cultural conditions were analyzed by thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatography. it was observed that temperature, age, ph, and light influenced the degree of unsaturation, this being due mainly to changes in the gamma-linolenic acid concentration. the conditions used in this study did not alter the qualitative profile of fatty acids normally present in the organism. neither did thes ...19764215

effect of glutamic acid on the fatty acid and lipid composition of choanephora cucurbitarum.the fatty acid composition of the total, neutral, sterol, free fatty acid, and polar-lipid fractions in the mycelium of choanephora curcurbitarum was determined. the major fatty acids in all lipid fractions were palmitic, oleic, linoleic, and gamma-linolenic acid. different lipid fractions did not show any particular preference for any individual fatty acid; however, the degree of unsaturation was different in different lipid fractions. free fatty acid and polar lipid fractions contained a highe ...19751201519
