Abstract
The effects of naphthoquinones on certain phases of growth and fat formation in Fusarium lini Bolley were studied. The addition of the effectors resulted in lowered mat weights, fat coefficients, sterol concentrations, and increases in the unsaturation of the fatty acids formed. Extension of this latter observation showed increased oleic and linoleic acid contents. Pyruvic acid accumulation increased with increasing amounts of added compounds, and was much greater than in the medium of the control, in some cases, as high as ten times the amount in the control. The conclusion arrived at is that quinones exercise two main functions in their participation in growth processes and fat formation in Fusarium lini Bolley.
