Influence of dinitroorthocresol (DNOC) on physiology and morphology of soil fungi. III. The effect of various concentrations of DNOC on spore germination activity and morphology of germ tubes

Abstract


In the present paper low concentrations (l -10 mcg/ml) of DNOC, in general, were not found to restrain germination of fungal spores. High concentrations (25-200 mcg/ml) were sporostatic and sporocidal Disturbances of fungal spore germination in the presence of DNOC were often accompanied by morphological changes of spores and germ tubes, Mucor mucedo under the influence of DNOC developed budding cels besides hyphae.
