Neurospora is a genus of Ascomycete fungi. The genus name, meaning `nerve spore` refers to the characteristic striations on the spores that resemble axons. The best known species in this genus is Neurospora crassa, a common model organism in biology. Neurospora intermedia var. oncomensis is believed to be the only mold belonging to Neurospora wh.....

A fungus of the group Ascomycetes. It is haploid and grows as a mycelium. There are two mating types and fusion of nuclei of two opposite types leads to meiosis followed by mitosis. The resulting eight nuclei generate eight ascospores. These are arranged linearly in an ordered fashion in a pod like ascus, so that the various products of meiotic div...

An Ascomycete fungus, haploid and grows as a mycelium. There are two mating types, and fusion of nuclei of two opposite types leads to meiosis followed by mitosis. The resulting eight nuclei generate eight ascospores, arranged linearly in an ordered fashion in a pod-like ascus so that the various products of meiotic division can be identified and isolated. Because of this, Neurospora crassa is one of the classic organisms for genetic research; studies on biochemical mutants led Beadle & Tatum to propose the seminal 'one gene-one enzyme' hypothesis.
