RESUMO

The level of polysomes in ungerminated conidia of Neurospora crassa depends on the method used to collect spores. Spores harvested and exposed to hydration contain 30% of their ribosomes as polysomes, whereas those not exposed to hydration contain only 3% of their ribosomes as polysomes. During the germination process, the percentage of the ribosomes which sediment as polysomes increases rapidly to a level of approximately 75% during the first 15 to 30 min of germination. This rapid increase has been shown to require a carbon source. During the first 30 min of germination, spores synthesize ribosomal ribonucleic acid (RNA) and heterogeneously sedimenting RNA, i.e., presumptive messenger RNA.
