The most important means of elucidating the pathway(s) of metabolism is, probably, the actual identification of all the enzymes involved in the postulated pathway. As far as the authors are aware, there has been no systematic attempt to elucidate the metabolic pathways in spores of fungi, although c

The enzyme a c t i v i t y of resting spores of bacteria a n d the biochemical changes occurring during the various phases of their germination have received considerable a t t e n t i o n during recent years (tIALVO~SOi~ 1957; I-IALVO~SOX a n d C~v~ct~ 1957).

I n a previous c o m m u n i c a t i o n we studied the enzyme catalase present in %he resting spores of Aspergillus niger (B~ATXAGA~ and K~ISJ~XA~ 1960). The presen% paper deals with phosphatase(s) which make theh " appearance during germination.
The germination of spores of microorganisms has been studied in detail with reference to bacterial spores (HALvo~so~ and CgvRcI~ 1957). I n f o r m a t i o n regarding the germination of mold spores is, however, incomplete. U n d e r certain conditions, the germination of mold spores is k n o w n to
## Abstract The effect of some medium components, viscous substances and metabolic inhibitors, on catalase production by mutant __Aspergillus niger__ has been studied in shake culture. Altering the composition of the basal medium, particularly substituting NaNO~3~ for KNO~3~, and peptone for yeast
