Abstract
RECENTLY, sexual hormone from the mycelium of mated strains of Mucor mucedo, which causes the production of zygophores in unmated cultures of the same fungus has been isolated1 and characterized2. A close parallel exists between the biological properties of this mycelial hormone and those of the trisporic acids from culture filtrates of mated strains of Blakeslea trispora3–8. While trisporic acids B and C (Fig. 1a and b) have been identified with the sexual factors obtained from culture filtrates of several members of the Mucorales9,10, we have carried out a direct comparison of the Mucor mycelial hormone and authentic trisporic acids from B. trispora.
