“…of 0.5 to 20 g m ^ (Cochrane, 1958). Strontium is known to satisfy the calcium requirement in Allomyees arbuseula (Ingraham & Emerson, 1954) and in certain other fungi (Steinberg, 1948). Calcium is intimately involved in uptake phenomena and protects against injurious effects of other cations, e.g.…”

Abstract. Recently much experimental evidence has accumulated concerning intracellular calcium and its fundamental role as a regulator in eukaryotic cells. The literature relating to Ca2+ in fungi is large and diverse and this paper draws together the available information and discusses the particular functions of the ion in this group of organisms. Uptake mechanisms in fungi are considered with special reference to the effect of Ca2+ on permeability and the systems responsible for transport of ions, sugars and amino acids. Discussion of the subcellular locations and distribution of Ca2+ is accompanied by a critique of methodology used in determination of subcellular sites of Ca2+ in fungi. The role of Ca2+ in morphogenesis in fungi is considered with particular reference to selected groups.

“…Allomyces, characterized by a branching thallus with pseudosepta (Emerson & Robertson 1974;Karling 1977), is an obligately aerobic and facultative fermenter that grows well in culture and is relatively easy to manipulate (Ingraham & Emerson 1954). Three life cycle types have been described within this genus: (1) Euallomyces (Emerson 1938); (2) Cystogenes (Emerson 1938); and, (3) Brachyallomyces (Emerson 1941).…”

Influence of calcium on the differentiation and growth of aggregated organs in Sphaerostilbe repens

In the ascomycete Sphaerostilbe repens the vegetative mycelium aggregated into structures composed of aerial coremia and rhizomorphs immersed in the culture medium. The morphology and growth of the cultures were examined on a defined medium with and without calcium supplementation. Initiation and growth of aggregated organs occurred only if calcium was present continuously in the culture medium. On calcium-deficient media the fungus produced only vegetative mycelium which retained its ability to aggregate in the presence of the cation. Small concentrations of calcium (less than 1 ppm) stimulated aggregation of the mycelium, but higher concentrations (about 200 ppm) were necessary to obtain optimum development of the aggregated organs. Strontium partially replaced calcium, but lithium did not, as a stimulator of aggregation.
