SUMMARY Exhaustive alkali and acid extraction of Mucor mucedo zygospores leaves a resi- due that is chemically very similar to higher plant and synthetic sporopollenins. This Mucor sporopollenin is probably a component of the outer part of the zygospore wall. The incorporation of radioactive acetate, mevalonate and /?-carotene suggests that it is biosynthesized by an oxidative polymerization of /3-carotene. Thus sporo- pollenin formation is probably a role for the increased carotenogenesis observed during sexual reproduction of many members of the Mucorales.
