Abstract
In a summary of the work on Neurospora by these writers and others, the genic control of the synthesis of amino acids and vitamins is discussed as well as the use of mutant types in analyzing reaction chains. New mutant types mentioned include those unable to 1) use fatty acids as a carbon source, 2) use unsaturated fatty acids as a carbon source, 3) utilize nitrate instead of nitrite or ammonium, or 4) synthesize adenine in part of the normal temp. range. The authors conclude that formation of essential chem. constituents is under genic control and that a 1:1 correspondence exists between gene and chemical reaction.
