Abstract excerpt
The Podospora anserina nuclear mutant grisea displays an undifferentiated growth phenotype (diminished production of aerial hyphae), is female sterile (lack of perithecia), has a prolonged life-span compared to the wild-type strain, and lacks detectable phenoloxidase (laccase and tyrosinase) activity. Reversion of all of these characteristics to those of the wild-type phenotype was accomplished by supplementing...
