Niederpruem, Donald J. (Indiana University Medical Center, Indianapolis), Hudner Hobbs, and Lyle Henry. Nutritional studies of development in Schizophyllum commune. J. Bacteriol. 88:1721–1729. 1964.—Individual carbon and nitrogen sources which sustain dikaryotic fruiting in the basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune were determined. Combination studies indicated that certain poor substrates were inhibitory; these included acetate, citrate, KNO2, and l-lysine. Homokaryotic (haploid) fruiting was promoted by dilute culture medium. Both developmental systems were arrested by respiratory CO2. Elevated temperature (e.g., 30 C) essentially completely blocked homokaryotic fruiting of S. commune. Images
