Isolation and characterisation of Gaeumannomyces graminis var. graminis melanin mutants.
1999-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Gaeumannomyces graminis var. graminis produces 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) melanin in its hyphal and hyphopodial cell walls. We isolated G. graminis mutants that were affected in their melanin biosynthesis. One was unable to synthesize DHN-melanin and, because it accumulated 2-hydroxyjuglone, a DHN melanin pathway shunt product, it is most likely to be defective in the reductase that catalyzes the conversion of...
