Induction of yeast cells from sporangiospores of Rhizopus stolonifer was inhibited by sodium fluoride

摘要

This study was aimed at determining?the effect of the glycolytic inhibitor, sodium fluoride(NaF), on induced yeast cells.?Rhizopus stolonifer?was cultivated in synthetic broth for 120 h,?at pH 4.5 and ambient temperature of 28 ± 1°C, using sporangiospores as inoculum.Growth was in?discrete units, which were sedimented.?Microscopic examination revealed induction of neoplasts, protoplasts and yeast cells, but biomass profiles?(OD,?625nm)?did not exhibit sigmoid pattern in control?or glycolytic inhibitor-NaF incorporated broths. A two-way analysis of variance showed that NaF and its interaction with time significantly affected growth (p?
