Cytological Studies of Some Members of the Family Saprolegniaceae. II

Precursors of Tryptophan in the Nutrition of Lentinus omphalodes Fr. and some other Hymenomycetes

“…response of Lentinus omphalodes to tlie tbree 3-indolecarboxylic acids was different in every ca.se, if tlie higher concentrations, 100 [i.m per flask, were considered (tbe lower coiicenlrations were all inactive). 3-Indoleacetic acid was distinctly inhibiting, wbich could be expected from earlier experiences of various workers (Leonian & Lilly t937, Murdia 1939, Bhargava 1946, Richards 1949). 3-IndoIepropionic acid was quite neutral, while 3-indoIe nbulyric acid evidently promoted growth.…”

Infection of smallmouth bass and goldfish by two species of Saprolegnia

“…Divergence in qualities noted for the two species of fungi is probably correlated with their morphological and physiological dissimilarities as demonstrated by Kanouse (1932). Bhargava (1943) showed that enzyme activities varied between two other species of Saprolegnia, . §_.…”

Studies on Penicillia.

“…Pentoses (arabinose, xylose and rhamnose) are generally regarded as poor sources of carbon (FARKIES and BELL 1930, BHARGAVA 1945, MEHROTRA 1951, and SAKSENA and MEHROTRA 1949. However some workers (PERLMAN 1948, BECKMAN et al 1953 found xylose to be a better source than even glucose.…”
