Abstract
Comparative studies were performed on mycelial cultures of Trichocladium achrasporum (Meyers and Moore) Dixon and conidial cultures of T. achrasporum derived from long-term, cold-stored specimens. Responses to variation in incubation temperature, pH and salinity of culture medium, and growth morphology on various mycological media were investigated. Microcycle conidiation was dffnonstrated in this organism. A sucrose density centrifugation method was devised for estimating spore to mycelium ratios of this non-desiduous fungus. Attempts to induce microcycle conidiation in mycelial cultures were made.
