Abstract

Poky, a maternally inherited mutant of Neurospora crassa, has been found to accumulate large quantities of free fatty acids. Although cultures of wild-type Neurospora contain only trace amounts of unesterified fatty acids, young cultures of poky were found to have 46% of their total fatty acid in this form. The possible effects of this accumulation of free fatty acids on the physiology of the mold are discussed with respect to the interaction of free fatty acids with cytochrome c.
