Crosses Involving Biochemically Deficient Mutants of Allomyces arbuscula

Studies of the Nutrition and Metabolism of the Aquatic Phycomycete, Allomyces

“…Yaw and Cutter (1951) also concluded that methionine is required for the growth of Allomyces. In addition, the properties and occurrence of methionine are not inconsistent with those reported by Quantz for his "cofactor."…”

Nutritional Relationships in a New Species of Blastocladiella

“…In attempting to confirm his results, Ingraham (1951) found that synthetic media were satisfactory for Allonuyces only if methionine was added, and suggested that it may have been the contaminant in Quantz's glutamate preparation. Independently, Yaw and Cutter (1951) reported briefly on a similar methionine deficiency in Allomyces. Our Blastocladiella, too, requires a reduced-sulfur source; equally significant, however, is the fact that such a requirement may easily be overlooked if the narrow range of tolerance for methionine and the effects of autodaving are not taken into consideration.…”
