The life cycles of the conidiating species of Neurospora are adapted to respond to fire, which is reflected in their natural history. Neurospora is found commonly on burned vegetation from the tropic and subtropical regions around the world and through the temperate regions of western North America. In temperate Europe it was unknown whether Neurospora would be as common as it is in North Ameri...

ETEROKARYOSIS has been extensively used as a major tool in formal genetic analysis of both Mendelian and non-Mendelian genes and in establishing gene-enzyme relationships. So far it is the only way to perform genetic anslysis of somatic cells in tissue culture (EPHRUSSI 1965; MINTZ and BAKER 1967). These aspects of heterokaryosis have been reviewed elsewhere ( JINKS 1965; FINCHAM 1966; DAVIS 19...

Experiments with Neurospora inspired the development of microbial genetics and initiated the molecular revolution in biology by demonstrating that genes encode enzymes. Because of its useful biological attributes, Neurospora crassa has become a favored organism for research in a variety of biological problems and a basic model organism among the filamentous fungi. A vast store of information ha...

in this study, the nutritive values of treated walnut hull by neurospora sitophila were evaluated. the chemical composition of samples was evaluated by laboratory analysis.in vitrodigestibility experiment was done to determine digestibility coefficients of dry matter, organic matter and also digestible organic matter in dry matter (domd) to estimate the metabolizable energy (me) content oftreat...

A Spore killer trait, which exhibits genetic and cytological properties analogous to those previously found in Neurospora, exists in natural populations of the fungal plant pathogen Fusarium moniliforme. The genogeography of the polymorphism in F. moniliforme differs from the situation in Neurospora intermedia. It is more akin to the situation in N. sitophila, although more extreme with respect...

The optical density ( 450 nm) of samples of homogenized fungal biomass correlated linearly with the dry weight of the biomass in the samples. As shown for broths of the filamentous microfungus Neurospora sitophila, the sensitivity of the technique depended on the extent of fragmentation of fungal hyphae during homogenization: increased fragmentation increased sensitivity. The method applied dur...

in this research, chemical composition, gas production characteristics, effective degradability and nutritive value index (nvi) of dm and cp by in situ method of treated walnut hull by nurospora sitophila were studied. three fistulated kermani ram were used for determination of walnut hull degradability. data were analysed using completely randomize design. by processing walnut hull with neuros...
