RGD-containing peptides and cyclic AMP have antagonistic roles in the morphology of Mucor rouxii

The tripeptide Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) (1 mM) as well as the polymer ProNectin F (20 nM) added to culture medium of the fungus Mucor rouxii (defined medium) produced a delay in the switch from isodiametric growth to tip growth; at the time of germination the mother cell had a 4.6 times larger volume with...
