Abstract excerpt
Various mutants of Neurospora crassa were screened for light-stimulated conidiation which is a blue light effect and, at least in strain albino-band, is mediated by the flavoprotein nitrate reductase (NR). NR- mutants showed practically no photoconidiation under standard conditions. However, in fusion products of nit-1 (diaphorase activity present, terminal activity missing) plus nit-3 (terminal activity present,...
