Abstract

SUMMARY

Chloramphenicol was found to inhibit the growth of , showing a maximum dose-response at a concentration of 100 g./ml. Mycelium grown in the presence of chloramphenicol 100 g./ml., was devoid of the mitochondrial cytochromes and but contained increased cytoplasmic cytochrome Mitochondria in thin sections of hyphae grown in the presence of chloramphenicol resembled mitochondria in normal hyphae. In negatively stained preparations of isolated normal mitochondria stalked particles were observed on the cristae. These particles could not be demonstrated in mitochondria from hyphae grown in the presence of chloramphenicol 100g./ml.
