Achlya ambisexualis

A second hormone, produced by the male hyphae, has been shown to be a mixture of oogoniols 1 and 2 (44 and 45). These steroidal compounds are active at 620 and 460 ng/ml, respectively. Cultures of Achlya ambisexualis produced oogoniols only after treatment with antheridiol. Antheridiol appears to induce the formation of an enzyme necessary for the production of oogoniols (Mascarenhas, 1978 O Day and Horgen, 1981).
