THE NATURE OF THE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF PATHOGENIC DERMATOPHYTES TO MONOFLUOROMETHYLAGMATINE (MFMAg)

Though the use of mutants and specific inhibitors, polyamines (putrescine spermidine, and spermine) have been shown to be essential for normal growth and development of fungi, bacteria, green plants and mammals (1). In bacteria and plants, polyamine synthesis initially involves the production of putrescine via either the ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) or arginine ARAŞTIRMA Cilt 57, No 1, S : 19 24 Türk Hij Den Biol Derg 2000
