Abstract

Phaeococcus exophialae, a black yeast, is examined by electron microscopy. In addition to previously reported yeast and hyphal growth forms, the fungus is observed to produce sterile aerial strands. Presence of a dialysis membrane barrier on the culture medium surface appears to be conducive to the development of the strands. Other factors controlling the production of the erect structures are not known. The strands are compared and contrasted with synnemata.
