Abstract excerpt
Growth at the restrictive temperature (42 degrees C) of Aspergillus nidulans B120, carrying the conditional-lethal mutation sod(VI)C1, was partially improved by the addition of 1.0 M sorbitol to the medium. The mutant grown at 42 degrees C, with osmotic stabilizer, showed abnormal hyphal morphology, a decrease in beta-1,3-glucan synthase activity as well as cell wall sugar content, but an increase in chitin...
