Abstract excerpt
We used mutant strains of Neurospora crassa to define the discretionary capacity of this species for excess putrescine. The spe-3 mutant, which accumulates putrescine internally, and the puu-1 mutant, which accumulates toxic levels of putrescine from the medium, both sequestered large excesses of putrescine in vacuoles. Concomitantly in puu-1, inorganic polyphosphate increased modestly and some of the monovalent...
