pH HOMEOSTASIS OF THE CIRCADIAN SPORULATION RHYTHM IN CLOCK MUTANTS OF<i>NEUROSPORA CRASSA</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The influence of environmental (extracellular) pH on the sporulation rhythm in Neurospora crassa was investigated for wild-type (frq+) and the mutants chr, frq1, frq7, and frq8. In all mutants, including wild type, the growth rate was found to be influenced strongly by extracellular pH in the range 4-9. On the other hand, for the same pH range, the period length of the sporulation rhythm is little influenced in wild type, chr, and frq1. A loss of pH homeostasis of the period, however, was observed in the mutants frq7 and frq8, which also are known to have lost temperature compensation. Concerning the influence of extracellular pH on growth rates, a clear correspondence between growth rates and the concentration of available H2PO4- ion has been found, indicating that the uptake of H2PO4- may be a limiting factor for growth under our experimental conditions. The loss of pH compensation in the frq7 and frq8 mutants may be related to less easily degradable FRQ7,8 proteins when compared with wild-type FRQ. Results from recent model considerations and experimental results predict that, with increasing extra-and intracellular pH, the FRQ7 protein degradation increases and should lead to shorter period lengths.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
