Neurospora crassa can utilize various purine bases such as xanthine or uric acid and their catabolic products as a nitrogen source. Four classes of mutants which affect the purine degradative pathway were isolated and studied. Mutants of the aln-1 class specifically lack allantoinase, while alc-1 mu

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
The induction of xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XL)) activities by D-xylose under different fermentation conditions was investigated in Neurospora crassa. The induction of NADPH-linked XR preceded NADHlinked XR and the ratio of NADH to NADPH-linked XR activity displayed variation f
