Targeted polar metabolomics data for <i>Neurospora crassa</i> wild type and mutant strains cultured on glucose

We present a metabolomics data set generated via high-performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry for the filamentous fungus <i>Neurospora crassa</i> grown with glucose as the carbon source. A group of 121 polar primary metabolites was identified in wild type and gene replacement mutants lacking the heterotrimeric Gα subunits <i>gna-1</i> or <i>gna-3</i> or the non-receptor guanine nucleotide exchange factor <i>ric8</i>.
