1. 검정곰팡이(Aspergillus niger)를 실험균주로 하여 동조적으로 액침배양한 결과 포자의 발아로 부터 균사의 생장, 생식기관의 성숙 및 무성포자의 형성까지를 재현시켰다. 2. 포자형성용 배지(D배지)에 cAMP를 첨가한 실험구에 있어서는 포자형성이 촉진되었고, 그 최적 농도는 $10^{-4}M$이었다. 3. 포자형성용 배지(D배지)에 첨가한 테오필린은 포자형성을 촉진하였고, 그 최적농도는 10mg/ml이었다. 4. 포자형성용 배지(D배지)에 첨가한 카페인은 포자형성을 촉진하였고, 그 최적농도는 300mg/ml이었다. 5. 포자형성용 배지(D배지)에 cAMP와 테오필린을 함께 첨가한 실험구에서는 cAMP 단독 첨가 실험구보다 포자형성 촉진효과가 더욱 강화되었다. 6. 포자형성용 배지(D배지)에 cAMP와 카페인을 함께 첨가한 실험구에서는 cAMP 단독 첨가 실험구보다 포자형성 촉진효과가 더욱 강화되었다. 7. 포자형성용 배지(D배지)에 AMP나 ATP를 첨가한 실험구에서는 포자형성 촉진효과가 거의 없었다. 8. 아세트산염 배지에 cAMP, 테오필린, 카페인을 각각 첨가한 실험구에서는 포자형성에 대해 촉진효과를 나타내었다.
Aspergillus niger van Tieghem was cultured by the method of synchronous and submerged culture. The sporulation occurred through the culture and its life cycle and differentiation were completed in the experiments. The effects of cAMP, theophylline and caffeine on the sporulation of A. niger were investigated. In the sporulation medium, the sporulation was stimulated by addition of cAMP and its optimum concentration was $10^{-4}M$. In the sporulation medium, the sporulation was stimulated by addition of theophylline and its optimum concentration was 10 mg/ml. In the sporulation medium, the sporulation was stimulated by addition of caffeine and its optimum concentration was 300 mg/ml. Theophylline added to the sporulation medium together with cAMP enhanced the promotion effect of cAMP on sporulation. Caffeine added to the sporulation medium together with cAMP enhanced the promotion effect of cAMP on sporulation. In the sporulation medium, the sporulation was stimulated by addition of neither AMP nor ATP. In the potassium acetate medium, cAMP, theophylline and caffeine stimulated the sporulation, respectively.
