Abstract excerpt
A polyphosphatase deficient mutant of Neurospora crassa has been isolated. The criterion for selecting the mutant was the capacity of the fungus to assimilate polyphosphates as the source of exogenous phosphorus. The mutant like the parent strain ad-6, was an adenine auxotroph but differed from the parent strain by a lower growth rate though, at the stationary stage, its biomass reached the same level as in the...
