Abstract

The specific activity of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is increased when carotenogenesis is made defective either by car mutations or by diphenylamine treatment in Phycomyces blakesleeanus. The increase in specific activity occurs whether cultures are grown in the dark or in the light. In the wild type, ADH specific activity is higher in dark-grown than in light-grown mycelia. The car mutants exhibit a normal light-induced ADH decrease.
