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

Several inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis reduced mycelial growth of the fungus
Ophiostoma ulmi (Buism.) Nannf. cultured on malt extract‐agar medium. Growth inhibition …

Difluoromethylarginine (DFMA) and difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) are inhibitors of the
polyamine biosynthetic enzymes arginine decarboxylase (ADC) and ornithine …

The fungus Pyrenophora avenae, an important pathogen of oat crops, was grown on solid
and liquid media containing the polyamine biosynthesis inhibitors difluoromethylornithine …

The diamine putrescine, the triamine spermidine and the tetraamine spermine are
ubiquitous in nature. In fungi, spermidine appears to be the major polyamine, and changes …

The effects of a number of polyamine biosynthetic inhibitors on the growth of four species of
necrotrophic fungi were examined in vitro. Additions of polyamines were also made to …

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 …

The main free polyamines identified in ungerminated spores of Glomus mosseae were
putrescine and spermidine. Changes in the level of these metabolites occurred during …

We have studied the effects of two polyamine biosynthetic inhibitors, α-difluoro-
methylornithine (DFMO) and α-difluoromethylarginine (DFMA), and of polyamines (PAs) …
