An unstable nuclear gene in phycomyces.
A gentic instability in Phycomyces is described that appears to be associated with a single nuclear gene, dar. The wild type is able to take up riboflavin and its toxic analogue, deaza-riboflavin, from nanomolar concentrations in the medium. The mutants are unable to take up riboflavin and are resistant to deaza-riboflavin. Forward and reverse mutation rates are estimated to be 4 x 10(-5) and 2...
متن کاملMeiosis in Phycomyces.
A four-factor cross between two strains of Phycomyces involving two auxotrophic, one color, and the mating type marker is described. Samples of 40 germspores from 84 individual fertile germsporangia were characterized. The results show: (i) The germspores of a germsporangium are derived from one meiosis in approximately 78% of the cases. (ii) The four markers are on separate chromosomes. They a...
متن کاملPhotoreactions in Phycomyces
Sporangiophores of Phycomyces in stage IV b have been stimulated by parallel light in test areas 0.2 mm. wide. The growth responses to large stimuli are very large, owing probably to light scattered within the specimen. For medium stimuli the sensitive zone coincides with the growth response zone obtained previously and excludes the region of maximum stretch. Sustained stimulations were used to...
متن کاملPhototropic Curvature in Phycomyces
The distribution of curvature and of bending speed along the cell's growing region are studied during steady state phototropic bending. At the start, elemental bending speed parallels the known axial distribution of growth rate. Hence regional phototropic sensitivity is initially determined by the local growth rate, and unilateral visible light acts proportionally at all levels of the growth zo...
متن کاملSpontaneous rotational inversion in Phycomyces.
The filamentary fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus undergoes a series of remarkable transitions during aerial growth. During what is known as the stage IV growth phase, the fungus extends while rotating in a counterclockwise manner when viewed from above (stage IVa) and then, while continuing to grow, spontaneously reverses to a clockwise rotation (stage IVb). This phase lasts for 24-48 h and is s...
