Abstract excerpt
Conidial formation in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is regulated by nutritional conditions, light, and the circadian clock. We found that a sod-1 mutant, with a defective superoxide dismutase catalyzing the conversion of superoxide to hydrogen peroxide, had a slightly shorter period length than the wild type and clear conidial banding similar to a mutant of band (bd). However, unlike the bd mutant, the...
