The metabolism of Rhizopus arrhizus (Fischer) during growth and asexual sporulation was investigated. Aerobic respiration occurred during spore germination but changed to fermentation during the initial stages of growth. During the later stages of growth and sporulation, the respiration again became aerobic. The fermentative phase during the initial growth stage was a result of culture technique. Sporulation was induced by glucose exhaustion. Protein was the major endogenous substrate during sporulation. Lipid reserves decreased, but non-structural carbohydrate reserves remained unchanged. The fermentation acids, over half of which were taken up from the culture medium, were the major exogenous substrate during sporulation. Lactate was identified as one of two fermentation acids produced in significant quantities. On a weight consumed basis, the fermentation acids were the major substrates utilized during sporulation.

“…Smith and Silverman (1973) reported a 30-40% decrease in lipids during the early phase of germination. In a study on R. arrhizus (Weete et al, 1973), it was observed that spores having low lipid concentrations required new lipid synthesis during the early stages of spore germination when compared to spores with high concentrations. Wang et al (2005) reported four genes that were predicted to encode intracellular triacylglycerol lipases in Magnaporthe grisea.…”

For example, the conjugated double bonds of carotenoids can prevent lethal photosensitizations by quenching excited states of singlet oxygen.…”
