Abstract
When growing in a medium with a low glucose concentration, Allomyces macrogynus produces large quantities of mitosporangia. The sporangia release zoospores when placed in a dilute salt solution. The zoospore suspensions consistently have densities in the range of 10 6 spores per milliliter, an apparently higher density than that previously reported by other investigators. Because of their rapid, simultaneous release, these zoospores are ideal for studies of cysts, germlings, or the zoospores themselves. The described method is also convenient for production of inocula for studies of the sporophytic stage of the Allomyces life cycle.
