Abstract excerpt
In Neurospora crassa, a nuclear-gene mutant, senescent, derived from a phenotypically normal wild isolate of Neurospora intermedia exhibits a 'death' phenotype. Regardless of the composition of the culture medium, the mycelium ceases to grow in 2-6 subcultures at 26 degrees C and 1 or 2 subcultures at 34 degrees C. Senescence of vegetative mycelium is associated with deficiencies in cytochromes aa3 and b and...
