Abstract
All available species of the Choanephoraceae produce zygospores when opposite mating types are inoculated together in appropriate liquid media. Yields of [beta]-carotene are much higher in the mated strains than in either parent grown alone. Not only is this true within a species but it also occurs when opposite mating types of different species are mated.
