Abstract: | Haploid strains 15.10, 1.C429, and 1.C2y and diploid strain JK2 ofUstilago violacea were grown on one or more of the following carbon sources: glucose, sucrose, maltose, inulin, starch, inositol, glycerol, casein, and yeast extract. The media, both before and after fungal growth, and the fungal cells were analyzed for 13C/12C content (δ13C values) using an isotope ratio mass spectrometer after combustion to CO2. In all cases, the used and unused media had identical δ13C values. Strain 15.10 had significantly less13C than the media when grown on glucose, sucrose, maltose, and inositol; significantly more13C when grown on inulin, starch, and glycerol; and no significant difference in δ13C values when grown on casein and yeast extract media. Other haploid strains responded similarly to 15.10. Diploid strain JK2 was also depleted in13C when grown on glucose and enriched in13C when grown on glycerol; however, JK2 was slightly depleted in13C when grown on casein, whereas all the tested haploid strains were enriched in13C. |
