Germination-defective mutant of Neurospora crassa that responds to siderophores

Germination-defective mutant of Neurospora crassa that responds to siderophores

G Charlang et al. J Bacteriol. 1977 Dec.

Abstract

A conditionally germination-defective mutant of Neurospora crassa has been found to be partially curable by ferricrocin and other siderophores. The mutant conidia rapidly lose their membrane-bound siderophores when suspended in buffer or growth media. Germination is consequently delayed unless large numbers of conidia are present (positive population effect). This indicates that the mutant has a membrane defect involving the siderophore attachment site.
