“…Such requirements may be found among the artificially induced mutants. PANTOTHENIC ACID Pantothenic acid was first discovered(Williams et al, 1932) as a growth factor for the Gebriide Mayer strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The isolation, identification, and synthesis of this compound was complete by 1940. was later shown to be a vitamin for animals.…”

PHYSIOLOGY OF THE FUNGI previous knowledge. Organization and interpretation of facts are equally as important as the experimentation which reveals them.The fungi as a group are highly responsive to their environment and are thus excellent test organisms for inquiring into the secrets of nature.Nature always answers correctly the questions we ask, and, in this sense, no experiment is a failure, although we may fail to ask the question we intended, or we may misunderstand the answer given. Infinite care is required to frame a question so that a definite answer may be obtained. By observing fungi in nature we are limited to questions asked by nature.Commonly, the environmental and nutritional factors are so complex that the influence of a single variable cannot be evaluated. By controlling the conditions under which a fungus is placed in the laboratory it is possible to ask questions of great precision. Indeed, the number and scope of the questions which we may ask fungi are limited only by the present-day techniques and the curiosity of the investigator.Since most of our knowledge of the physiology of the fungi has been gained from laboratory investigations, the experimental approach will be emphasized in the discussions which follow. However, this choice is not meant to minimize the importance of and need for critical observations in nature.By emphasizing the results of careful laboratory research, we are better able in the following chapters to present the facts necessary for an understanding of the vital principles of fungus physiology, and also to show that these principles, theories, and hypotheses are founded upon experimental evidence. FUNGUS PHYSIOLOGY IN RELATION TO OTHER SCIENCESPhysiology is that branch of science which deals with the life processes or the activities of organisms. The activities of the whole organism or of any of its parts may be hmited by its form or structure. Both the activity and the form of an individual are determined to a great extent by its genetic constitution and are modified by the environment to which the organism is exposed. Physiology, therefore, is not an independent subject.An understanding of physiological principles is based, in part, upon facts and theories from many other fields of science, such as chemistry, physics, anatomy, cytology, bacteriology, and genetics. Many of the physiological principles which have been established for one group of organisms apply equally well to other groups. The vitamins essential to the normal growth of the fungi are the same as those required by man, animals, and the higher plants. The general functions of these vitamins appear to be the same in all organisms. The difference in the vitamin requirements seems to lie in the different abilities of these groups of organisms (or individuals within the group) to synthesize these necessary compounds. As Schopfer (1943) has pointed out, the The life processes of the fungi involve numerous chemical transformations.Living organisms make and use special organic catalysts, enzymes, which control ...

A u x i n -a , C18H3Z05, enthalt nach der analytischen Untersuchung eine Carboxylgruppe, drei alkoholische Hydroxyle, eine Doppelbindung und einen Kohlenstoffring. Von den vier Sauerstoffatomen des Auxi nsb, C,,H,,,O,, liegen zwei ebenfalls in einer Carboxylgruppe, eines in eineni alkoholischen Hydroxyl und eines in einer Ketogruppe vor. Auch Auxin-b enthalt eine Doppelbindung und einen Kohlenstoffring. Die M ti t a r o t a t io n , welche die Losungen beider Auxine zeigen, wird durch die Rildung von L a c t o n e n verursacht; aus dem zeitlichen Verlauf der Mutarotation schlossen wir, dal.3 es 3, Der 1.G.
