In Vitro Ribonucleic Acid Synthesis in the Zoospores of the Aquatic Fungus Blastocladiella emersonii

Paul A Horgen 1
PMCID: PMC248673  PMID: 5551639

Abstract

The zoospores of Blastocladiella emersonii posses three ribonucleic acid polymerases. No general or specific inhibitor for the enzymes were found in the protoplasm of the spores.
