Abstract
For description of electric processes in hyphae growth of Neurospora c rassa we construct a mathematical model where the hyphae is considered as a one-dimentional electric cable with non-uniform logitudinal dist ribution of electric current contributors representing the activity of protonic pumps. Using this model we obtain profiles of pump and inwar d membrane current densities along the hyphae qualitatively coincident with the results of electrophysiologic experiments.
