Abstract

The effect of different adenine-containing compounds on the NADP-/NAD-glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) ratio was studied as a function of yeast-mycelium transition in Benjaminiella poitrasii. Under in vivo conditions, at a 5.0 mM concentration, cyclic AMP (cAMP) and dibutyryl cAMP maintained the cells in the yeast form for up to 7 and 5 h, respectively, and this was reflected in the patterns of GDH ratios observed. In vitro studies of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation have also been carried out, and the results suggest a possible correlation between cAMP, the GDH ratio, and cell form in B. poitrasii.
