Invertase was produced by the mutant and appeared to be serologically identical to wild-type N. crassa invertase. The mutant secreted over 95 % of theinvertase into the medium whereas cells of the wild-type retained almost all the invertase. Theslime mutant hence resembles wild-type protoplasts in both structure and invertase secretion. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-71-1-159
