A modulator factor with properties similar to those of calmodulin was found and partially purified from the soluble fraction of Mucor rouxii . These properties include: heat‐stability, stimulation in a Ca 2+ ‐dependent fashion of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase from bovine brain, and inhibition of this process by trifluoperazine. This calmodulin‐like activity was detected in the soluble fraction of both mycelium and yeast‐like cells of the fungus.
