Abstract
An osmotic mutant of Neurospora crassa was grown in minimal medium containing increasing concentrations of sorbose. Protoplasts were produced in the higher concentrations by inhibition of cell-wall synthesis. Similar molar concentrations of fructose, glucose, and sucrose also produced protoplasts, suggesting a relationship between inhibition of cell-wall synthesis and osmotic pressure. Increased sugar concentration led to decreased growth.Keywords
