“…Mucor rouxii is a dimorphic fungus that grows either as a mycelium or like Saccharomyces cerevisiae depending on the environmental conditions (3,21,26). Irrespective of growth conditions, however, sporangiospores placed into an appropriate medium increase in volume by an isodiametric or spherical growth process termed phase I (4).…”

“…Irrespective of growth conditions, however, sporangiospores placed into an appropriate medium increase in volume by an isodiametric or spherical growth process termed phase I (4). After this phase, spores start a distinct phase of polarized growth termed phase 11 (4), emitting either germ tubes (mycelial growth) or buds, depending on the environmental conditions (3,4,21,26). Syntheses of chitin (4) and proteins and RNA (7) occur exponentially with no appreciable change in rate through phases I and II of germination.…”

“…(14); however, most of these measurements were made in cells shifted from CO2 to air. The shift from an anaerobic to an aerobic environment with both CO2 and 02 may lead to many changes independent of development (18). In this paper, the development of yeast or hyphae was done in the VOL.…”

“…In addition, yeast forms are only found under anaerobic conditions with an excess of CO2 (1, 5). Although there are numerous studies on the carbon sources, atmosphere, and other environmental conditions that result in the formation of either yeast or hyphal tubes (1,5,18), there is very little work on the effect of the nitrogen sources on Mucor spp. dimorphism (15).…”

“…they are able to grow as mycelium or as a yeast-like form according to the prevailing growth conditions, notably O2 tension and the type and concentration of the carbon source (see reviews by Bartnicki-Garcia, 1963 ;Sypherd et al, 1978 ;Inderlied et al, 1985 ;Ruiz-Herrera, 1985). In general, an anaerobic environment and high concentrations of fermentable carbon sources are associated with yeastlike growth, whereas mycelial growth requires aerobiosis and low concentrations of fermentable or non-fermentable carbon sources.…”
