Heat shock was found to induce characteristic changes in the pattern of protein synthesis in Aspergillus nidulans as analysed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Six to seven new bands were found to show increased incorporation to 35S-methionine at 43 degrees C compared to 37 degrees C, the standard temperature for this organism. The heat shock response of five different strains of A. nidulans was examined. This comparative study showed that these strains (haploids and diploids) show exactly the same set of heat shock proteins.

D001233 Aspergillus nidulans A species of imperfect fungi from which the antibiotic nidulin is obtained. Its teleomorph is Emericella nidulans. Aspergillus nidulellus,Emericella nidulans
D013045 Species Specificity The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
