“…The fact that none of the mitochondrial Xuorescent dyes tested was internalized in young germlings did not allow us to analyze the distribution and morphology of the mitochondria during Spk ontogeny. However, other studies (Namboodiri, 1966) have shown how variable in shape and size these can be in germinating conidia.…”

“…The nuclei and mitochondria of conidia and mycelia are morphologically indistinguishable (136,226). Conidia contain on the average about 2.5 nuclei with some individual conidia containing up to 10 (62, 119, 224; M. Kihara, Neurospora Newsletter 2:8-9, 1962; and T. H. Pittenger, Neurospora Newsletter 11 :10-12, 1967).…”

Pittenger, Neurospora Newsletter 11 :10-12, 1967). Fourto five-day-old conidia contain very few vacuoles (136), but large vacuoles are found in conidia from cultures that are 2 or more weeks old (136). Large vacuoles have also been observed in hyphae from older regions of the mycelial mat but are usually absent from the growing tip (136,240).…”

Large vacuoles have also been observed in hyphae from older regions of the mycelial mat but are usually absent from the growing tip (136,240). Small dense bodies that are usually associated with the endoplasmic reticulum have been observed in conidia and are probably lipid (119,226) though their composition has not been chemically determined.…”

“…The endoplasmic reticulum in conidia was sparse and discontinuous, whereas in mycelia it was well defined and plentiful (119,136,226,227). The ribosomes in conidia were freely dispersed in the cytoplasm (226).…”

2'-Deoxyadenosine (2 mM), a DNA inhibitor, was used to synchronize DNA synthesis in cultures of Neurospora crassa lys 3. The cultures recovered spontaneously from the inhibitor which had little or no effect o the synthesis of RNA, protein or carbohydrate or on the specific growth rate of the mould. The degree of 'synchrony' of DNA synthesis obtained with 2'-deoxyadenosine varied directly with the organism's specific growth rate when the latter was altered by temperature changes. A direct relationship was observed between the rate of synthesis of DNA during the S period and the organism's specific growth rate. Conidia of Neurospora crassa lys 3 were separated into different density classes using urografin gradients; the separation treatment did not have an appreciable effect on the subsequent germination or growth of conidia. Populations of large, less dense conidia produced germ tubes more rapidly and more synchronously than populations of small, dense conidia. Cultures inoculated with the large conidia displayed continuous synthesis of RNA and protein but discontinuous synthesis of DNA.
