Neurospora

Neurospora
Neurospora,
 
saprophytische Schlauchpilzgattung, deren bekannteste Vertreter, Neurospora crassa und Neurospora sitophila, oft auf feuchtem Brot vorkommen. Die raschwüchsigen Neurosporaarten sind wichtige Forschungsobjekte der Genetik und Biochemie. Mittels bestimmter Mutanten, denen die Fähigkeit zur Synthese bestimmter Aminosäuren fehlte, wurde z. B. der Biosyntheseweg der essenziellen Aminosäure Methionin aufgeklärt.
