✦ Synopsis

Mycelia of Neurospora crassa growing with quite different rates at a given temperature (30 ~ C) are obtained by changing the composition of the culture medium: for instance a duplication time of 220 min is found when cultures are growing in Vogel's minimal medium supplemented with glycerol and one of 80 min when cultures are growing in Vogel's minimal medium supplemented with sucrose and casein hydrolysate. The kinetics of shifth-down and shift-up transitions of growth between culture conditions supporting different rates of growth are described. Temperatures above 40~ and below 20~ severely restrict growth in Vogel's minimal medium supplemented with sucrose. The Arrhenins plot of the constant of the rate of growth suggests that an inactivation process occurs at low temperatures: the molecular basis for such a process is discussed.

Neurospora crassa can utilize various purine bases such as xanthine or uric acid and their catabolic products as a nitrogen source. The early purine catabolic enzymes in this organism are regulated by induction and by ammonium repression. Studies were undertaken to investigate purine base transport

Neurospora crassa possesses an inducible L-amino acid oxidase that is expressed only when cells are derepressed for nitrogen in the presence of an amino acid. Enzyme synthesis requires both induction by an amino acid and simultaneous nitrogen catabolite derepression. Carbon limition in the presence
