Abstract

The sugars and amino acids of the fungal mycelium of six species of the order Mucorales were determined with the use of two-dimensional as well as circular paper chromatography. A critical survey of the above conclusions revealed that aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine and serine and α-alanine were found in either free and bound form. Glutamine and arginine were absent in bound form. Threonine, histidine, isoleucine and tryptophane were absent in the ethanol soluble fraction. The presence and absence of certain amino acids in these species are good subsidiary characters for distinguishing one of them from the other.
