title: Activity of uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine-4-epimerase during spherulation of Physarum polycephalum.
abstract: The specific activity of uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine-4-epimerase increases during spherulation of Physarum polycephalum, a process that involves the synthesis of galactosamine walls. This increase is prevented by the addition of cycloheximide.
