Abstract excerpt
Mucorales constitute a group of fungi that, because of their growth characteristics, have been used extensively in the study of cell differentiation, cell morphogenesis, and stimuli perception. We have studied the role of polyamine metabolism in the development of different Mucorales, with emphasis on Mucor and Phycomyces species. It has been observed that previous to each differentiative step, the cellular...
