A conditionally germination-defective mutant of Neurospora crassa has been found to be partially curable by ferricrocin and other siderophores. The mutant conidia rapidly lose their membrane-bound siderophores when suspended in buffer or growth media. Germination is consequently delayed unless large numbers of conidia are present (positive population effect). This indicates that the mutant has a membrane defect involving the siderophore attachment site.
已发现粗糙脉孢菌的一种条件性萌发缺陷突变体可被铁载体和其他铁载体部分治愈。当悬浮在缓冲液或生长培养基中时,突变体分生孢子会迅速失去其膜结合铁载体。因此,除非存在大量分生孢子(正群体效应),否则萌发会延迟。这表明该突变体存在涉及铁载体附着位点的膜缺陷。
