Studies on the Distribution of the Mononucleotides in Aspergillus niger during Differentiation

검정곰팡이의 분화에 따르는 모노뉴클레오티드 성분의 분포 변동에 관한 연구

Aspergillus niger IMI 41873 was cultured by the method of synchronous and submerged culture. Its sporulation occurred in the culture. Ribonucleic acids were extracted at each stage of life cycle. These RNAs were digested, separated and determined by P.E.I. cellulose TLC and HPLC methods. The levels of ribonucleic acids in sporulating mycelia were higher than those of conidiophore and phialide forming mycelia. Inosine 5-monophosphate and adenosine 5-monophosphate derivatives were found in HPLC separations. The levels of inosine 5-monophosphate and adenosine 5-monophosphate derivatives per ribonucleic acid were constant through differentiation. After the standard purine necleosides and boiling water extracts from A. bisporus, F. velutipes and L. edodes were added into the culture, their effects on sporulation were examined. Sporulation was greatly enhanced in each adding experiment.

1. 분화과정에 따른 균체로부터 추출한 총 RNA량은 포자형성 직전에 증가함을 알았다. 2. 추출한 RNA를 가수분해하여 P.E.I. Cellulose TLC를 전개한 결과 AMP유도체와 IMP가 존재함을 확인하였다. 3. 포자형성을 전후하여 IMP와 AMP의 RNA에 대한 함량비율은 일정함을 알았다. 4. 포자형성 전기의 균체에 아데노신, 구아노신, 이노신, 크산토신을 처리한바 포자형성이 10배 이상 촉진되었다. 5. 포자형성 전기의 균체에 A. bisporus, F. velutipes, L. edodes의 열수추출액을 처리한바 포자형성이 $1.5{\sim}2$배 촉진되었다.
