β¦ Synopsis
Mutations which affect the regulation of Neurospora repressible alkaline phosphatase do so by altering the rate of de novo alkaline phosphatase synthesis. In regulatory mutants the rate of alkaline phosphatase polypeptide synthesis can vary over a 1000-fold range. Following transfer to phosphate-free medium, the wild-type cell is capable of increasing the rate of synthesis of alkaline phosphatase molecules within 30-45 min.

Nitrogen, as KNO3 or NH4NO3, can inhibit the photoinduction of protoperithecia in Neurospora crassa when present in the medium at a high concentration but does not inhibit the photoinduction of carotenoids. The point at which the presence of high nitrogen levels is no longer inhibitory is 5 h after
It is known that Neurospora crassa mycelia cultured in standard concentrations (76 to 190 #g/ml) of sulfate accumulate a low molecular weight inhibitor of tyrosinase (monophenol, dihydroxyphenylalanine: oxygen oxidorenductase; EC 1.14.1.18.1.). This is not observed in cultures grown under sulfate-li
