. Thiamine and nicotinic acid: Anaerobic growth factors for
Mucor rouxii
. J. Bacteriol. 82:142–148. 1961.—
Mucor rouxii
requires preformed thiamine and nicotinic acid for anaerobic growth. Such requirements are not manifested during aerobic incubation. Aerobically, the fungus was shown to be able to synthesize both vitamins.
The yeastlike form and the filamentous form of anaerobically grown
M. rouxii
exhibit the same vitamin requirements.
Thiamine can be substituted by its thiazole moiety. Under certain conditions, nicotinic acid was partly substituted by tryptophan, kynurenine, 3-hydroxykynurenine, and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid.
Anaerobically. the fungus (thiamine requiring) was about ten times more susceptible to pyrithiamine antagonism than the same organism grown aerobically (thiamine independent).
