Abstract: | Carotene production by single and mated Blakeslea trispora has been studied. On mating and on the addition of trisporic acid to minus cultures there was an increase in the membrane bound neutral protease (MW 126 000) activity. The protease probably acts by inactivating the inhibitory protein of carotene biosynthesis resulting in increased carotenogenesis. |
