A reliable method for the extraction and assay of pyridine nucleotides (NAD, NADH, NADP, and NADPH) in filamentous fungi is presented. The method is applied to a study of the physiology of citric acid accumulation by Aspergillus niger. The measurement of "catabolic reduction charge" (NADH/(NAD + NADH)) and "anabolic reduction charge" (NADPH/(NADP + NADPH)) as a means of characterizing the metabolic state is discussed.
