Abstract:
Oat-meal agar with yeast tablets was found to be a good medium for the sporulation of Trichoconis padwiokii, while mycelial growth of the fungus was better in potato dextrose agar. Spores of Trichoconis padwickii germinated by the production of germ-tubes from any of the cells but more frequently from the end cells. Germination was equally good on tap water, distilled water, rain water and leaf extract.
