Nemin: a morphogenic substance causing trap formation by predaceous fungi.
- Science, 129(3354), p.966-967, 1959 .
Broths in which the nematode Neoaplectana glaseri had develop axenically caused the mycelium of the predaceous fungus Arthrobotrys conoides to differentiate into traps. The active principle was extracted from worm-free Culture filtrates and named "nemin." The identity of nemin remains to be established.
