Experiments were performed aiming at establishing optimal conditions for demonstrating the activity of dehydrogenases in Epon-embedded, semithin sections. Small fragments of the nervous tissue were incubated 1, 4, 10 and 24 h 37, 20 and 4 degrees C in the presence of NBT or TC NBT. The incubated fragments were embedded in Epon and semithin sections prepared thereof. The activities of succinate dehydrogenase and of alpha-glycerol dehydrogenase was evaluated. The experiments have shown that semithin, Epon-embedded sections may be used for demonstration and cytological localization of respiratory enzymes. Various experimental conditions were tried. Optimal results obtained when unfixed tissue fragments were incubated for 24 h at 4 degrees C.

Three glycerol-nonutilizing mutants deficient in the mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.99.5) were isolated from inl(ts) derivatives of Neurospora crassa following inositolless death at elevated temperatures on minimal glycerol medium. These mutants failed to grow on glycerol as a sole carbon source, but could grow on acetate, glucose, or mannitol media and were female fertile in genetic crosses, thereby distinguishing them from the previously reported polyol-protoperithecial defective Neurospora mutants. In addition, these glp mutants exhibited a distinct morphological alteration during vegetative growth on sucrose slants and colonial growth on sorbose-containing semicomplete medium. The glp-2 locus was assigned a location between arg-5 and nuc-2 on chromosome IIR on the basis of two-factor crosses and by duplication coverage by insertional translocation ALS176, but not NM177. All mutations were allelic as judged from the absence of both complementation in forced heterokaryons and genetic recombination among glp-2 mutations. The reversion frequency of all three mutations was less than 10(10), indicating probable deletions in these strains. No G3P dehydrogenase activity could be detected in either cytosolic or mitochondrial extracts from mutant strains grown on glycerol, glucose, or galactose media. These results suggest that the glp-2 locus may be the structural gene for both the cytosolic and mitochondrial forms of G3P dehydrogenase or for a cytosolic precursor of the mitochondrial G3P dehydrogenase. The defect is specific for the G3P dehydrogenase since normal activities of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase and succinate dehydrogenase and the cytosolic glycerol dehydrogenase and dihydroxyacetone phosphate reductase are detected in mutant extracts. During attempted growth of glp-2 mutants on glycerol media, there was an accumulation of G3P in culture filtrates, a reduction in the mycelial growth rate, and a decreased level of glycerokinase induction.
