Spatial Distribution of Circadian Clock Phase in Aging Cultures of Neurospora crassa.

Neurospora crassa has been utilized extensively in the study of circadian clocks. Previously, the clock in this organism has been monitored by observing the morphological and biochemical changes occurring at the growing front of cultures grown on solid medium. A method has been developed for assaying the clock in regions of the culture behind the growing front, where no apparent morphological changes occur during the circadian cycle.
