Morphogenetic potency of short-chain n-alkanols related to Aureobasidium pullulans dimorphism

Several concentrations of n-alkanols from methanol to octanol have been added to cultures of Aureobasidium pullulans , and the minimal concentration inducing hyphal development (hyphae inducer concentration) for each one has been determined. The morphogenetic inducer potency of the alcohols from met...

Zusammenfassung:Several concentrations of n-alkanols from methanol to octanol have been added to cultures of Aureobasidium pullulans , and the minimal concentration inducing hyphal development (hyphae inducer concentration) for each one has been determined. The morphogenetic inducer potency of the alcohols from methanol to n-hexanol was a function of their membrane solubility, all showing the same intramembrane inducer concentration.
