Disruption of an amino acid transport mutant of Neurospora crassa by KCl.
A double amino acid transport-deficient mutant (Pm (-)NB) of Neurospora crassa is shown to be altered in the molecular structure of its cell wall or membrane. This alteration was revealed by a high degree of cellular disruption and cell-cell interaction following extraction by a high molar concentration of KCl.
