RESUMO

The formation of fruiting bodies in the monokaryotic fisc strain and a dikaryon of Coprinus macrorhizus was inhibited by growth in high-glucose media. In high-glucose media the characteristic burst of adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation during fruiting-body formation was absent. Enzymatic activity assays revealed that mycelia grown in high-glucose media contained relatively lower amounts of adenylate cyclase and cAMP-phosphodiesterase than mycelia grown in low-glucose media. The synthesis of inducible d-serine deaminase and tryptophanase was repressed in high-glucose media. A mutant (gluR) in which the glucose repression of fruiting-body formation is affected was isolated by selection in high-glucose media. The mutation caused the cAMP levels to be no longer affected by glucose and affected ability to synthesize the inducible d-serine deaminase and tryptophanase. The gluR mutant was partially dominant in dikaryons. It is suggested that cAMP may play important roles in inducing fruiting bodies and in controlling inducible enzyme synthesis in C. macrorhizus.
