pubmed:abstractText
Addition of sodium nitrate to growing cultures of Aspergillus parasiticus (ATCC 36537) induces the synthesis of enzymes involved in nitrate assimilation (NO3- reductase), of enzymes in the pentose pathway (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase), and of enzymes in the mannitol cycle (mannitol- and mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenases). Addition of NO3- also causes a dose-dependent suppression of synthesis of the polyketide secondary metabolite, versicolorin A. We suggest that in the presence of NO3- plus peptone, the cytoplasmic NADPH/NADP ratio may be elevated, resulting in increased conversion of malonyl coenzyme A to fatty acid rather than to polyketide.
