Abstract
Mycelial extracts of 34 strains representing eight species of the genus Neurospora were subjected to acrylamide and starch gel electrophoresis to detect sites of esterase, lactate dehydrogenase, amylase, peroxidase, and acid phosphatase activity. Nine isozymes of esterases, four isozymes of lactate dehyrogenases, three isozymes of peroxidases, and two isozymes of acid phosphatases were detected on the gels for the species. The application of zymograms as a biochemical means to characterize species is discussed.
