Abstract: | In Zygorhynchus moelleri, a homothallic Mucor, triglycendes are the main components of chloroform/methanol extractable lipids. The triglycerides accumulate in the aerial hyphae, particularly in the developing zygospores and in the lateral suspensors, but only after zygospore maturation. They are probably transported from the submerged mycelium to the aerial hyphae. Most of the fatty acid synthetase activity is found in the submerged mycelium. The fatty acid composition of the triglycerides does not change appreciably during sexual development. No influence of trisporic acids has been found on triglyceride synthesis or transport. |
