A method was perfected for inducing single-spore formation in uninucleate lag-phase germlings of Blastocladiella emersonii. Whether one or more spores was produced was related to the age of the germlings, the number of nuclei present prior to induction, and their apparent position in the mitotic cycle. Amino acids and peptone-yeast extract reversed...

... Microcycle conidiation has also been described in Penicillium species (Zeidler & Margalith, 1973 ; Sekiguchi et al., 1975; Van Gestel, 1983), Paecilomyces variotii (Anderson et al., 1978), Claviceps purpurea (Pazantova et al., 1978), Trichoderma harzianum (Zuber & Turian, 198 1) and Acremonium diospyri (Saviour, 1981) as well as in some actinomycetes (Kloepsel & Ensign, 1984; Daza et ul., 1989). The phenomenon has also been reported under the terms 'precocious sporulation' (Boosalis, 1962), 'lag-phase sporogenesis' (Hennessy & Cantino, 1972), 'premature conidiation' (Cortat & Turian, 1974) and 'paedogenetic conidiation' (Plesofsky Vig et al., 1983). The key features of microcycle conidiation have been studied in Aspergillus niger by Smith et al. (198 1) and in Neurosporu crassa by Turian and his associates (Rossier et al., 1977; Ton That & Turian, 1978; Guignard et al., 1984). ...
