Notes:
Some peptides inducing capture organ formation in Arthrobotrys oligospora were characterized with regard to their amino acid contents. The N-terminal, C-terminal and total amino acids were determined as their dinitrophenyl-derivatives by thin layer chromatography on silica gel in two different solvents. The amino acid composition was further confirmed by gas-liquid chromatography.The peptides investigated had a high proportion of non-polar and aromatic residues. Thus, leucine, isoleucine, valine, proline, and tyrosine were present in all the peptides. In addition, phenyl-alanine, glycine, and alanine occurred in some preparations. Tyrosine, valine, and phenylalanine were found in N-terminal position, and leucine or isoleucine were C-terminals.
