Following exposure of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus to 3· 75 μg ml‐1 or 15
μg ml‐1 zinc for 2 weeks, growth was unaffected, putrescine and spermidine concentrations …

The abilities of three ectomycorrhizal fungi, Paxillus involutus, Suillus variegatus and
Lactarius rufus, to utilize organic and inorganic nitrogen sources were determined by …

DFMO reduced mycelial growth of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus. This was
accompanied by reduced activities of ornithine decarboxylase, S‐adenosylmethionine …

Endogenous polyamine content of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Paxillus involutus, as well as
the activity of its biosynthetic enzymes in relation to mycelia ageing were investigated in this …

Production of free and conjugated polyamines by one strain of Laccaria proxima (Boud.)
Maire, three strains (H, O, K) of Paxillus involutus (Batsch) Fr., and one strain of Pisolithus …

The naturally occurring polyamines, putrescine, spermidine and spermine are synthesized
in most eucaryotes from ornithine and methionine [1, 2] by the pathway outlined in fig. 1. The …

The amines, putrescine, spermidine and spermine occur in a wide variety of organisms [1-3].
Although their cellular function is not known, they are invariably synthesized rapidly at the …

The effects of the putrescine analogue 1-aminooxy-3-aminopropane on fungal polyamine
metabolism were evaluated using Sclerotinia sclerotiorum as an experimental model. The …

Putrescine and the polyamines spermidine and spermine have been found in all eukaryotic
organisms examined. Their precise physiological function is still unknown. It has been …

Changes in polyamine content and in the activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) were
followed during growth and differentiation of the plant pathogenic fungus Sclerotium rolfsii …
