Effect of hexoses on the levels of pyruvate decarboxylase in Mucor rouxii.

C R Barrera, J Corral
PMCID: PMC294134  PMID: 6445893

Abstract

Pyruvate decarboxylase activity in the dimorphic fungus Mucor rouxii increased 25- to 35-fold in yeastlike and mycelial cells grown in the presence of glucose as compared to the activity observed in mycelial cultures grown in the absence of glucose.
