Chitin synthetase activity in a developmental mutant of Phycomyces blakesleeanus.

Abstract excerpt

Chitin synthetase activity was analyzed in vitro and in vivo in two morphogenetic stages, namely, dormant spore cells and germlings of the wild type strain and the developmental mutant S356 of Phycomyces blakesleeanus. In vitro experiments showed a much higher specific activity in dormant spores of the mutant strain than in those of the wild-type. This difference was restricted to the dormant spore phase since...
