    Notes: Abstract Changes in both respiratory pathways and mitochondrial structure of Neurospora crassa occurred under conditions of microcycle conidiation. Upon heat-treatment at 46°C, conidia developed a highly cyanide-insensitive, hydroxamate-sensitive respiration associated with morphological alterations in mitochondrial membranes; such changes were time-dependent. When heat-treated conidia were shifted down to 25°C, the alternate, hydroxamate-sensitive respiration decreased significantly, paralleling the recovery of well-cristated mitochondria with an electron-dense matrix in the germ tubes. The decrease in hydroxamate-sensitivity was associated with two periods of increase in cyanide sensitivity corresponding to the events of germination and precocious proconidial budding.

    Notes: Abstract Mitochondrial H+ (Mg2+)-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) activity of Neurospora crassa has been studied during conidial germination in the presence and absence of 2,4-dinitrophenol and dicoumarol. The activity was optimal at pH 8.5–9.0 and was inhibited (80–90%) by oligomycin, N,N'-dicyclo-hexylcarbodiimide and azide.The enzyme activity already present in mitochondria isolated from dry- and wet-harvested conidia did not change significantly during the 2.5 h pregermination at 25°C (20% outgrowth), but increased sharply up to 7.5 h corresponding to the end of germination period and remained steady until the end of log phase (15 h).In uncoupler-treated conidia, the stimulation of germ tube outgrowth at 2.5 h was found to parallel the activation (40%) of mitochondrial ATPase.

    Notes: Summary Cytochrome oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) activity of conidia of wild-typeNeurospora crassa was detected cytochemically at the ultrastructural level by 3,′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) reaction during heat treatment at 46 °C and after shift down to 25 °C. At 46 °C the decrease in the enzyme activity was shown to be time-dependent (0–10 hours) in the progressively overswelling conidia. Gradual recovery of the DAB reaction occurred in mitochondria of conidia outgrowing conidiogenous germ tubes (microcycle conidiation) when shifted down to 25 °C. Inactivation of cytochrome oxidase was efficiently prevented during heat treatment in the presence of Tween 20. Such conidia no longer overswelled but still required shift down to 25 °C to produce germ tubes with delayed conidiogenous ability.
