Nemin: A Morphogenic Substance Causing Trap Formation by Predaceous Fungi

Broths in which the nematode Neoaplectana glaseri had developed axenically caused the mycelium of the predaceous fungus Arthrobotrys conoides to differentiate into traps. The active principle was extracted from worm-free culture filtrates and named "nemin." The identity of nemin remains to...

Description
Summary:Broths in which the nematode Neoaplectana glaseri had developed axenically caused the mycelium of the predaceous fungus Arthrobotrys conoides to differentiate into traps. The active principle was extracted from worm-free culture filtrates and named "nemin." The identity of nemin remains to be established.
