Abstract excerpt
1. The RCP-3 S/H mutant of Neurospora crassa was obtained by vegetative selection in medium of high osmolarity of a mycelial form of an fz, sg, os-1 ("slime"-like) segregant. The mutant exhibits spheroplast-hyphal dimorphism conditioned by the osmolarity of the culture medium (Pietro et al. (1990). Journal of General Microbiology, 136: 121-129). The carbohydrate composition of the cell wall of the mutant was...
