Abstract
SUMMARYThe growth and morphology of an isolate of Sadasivania bhustha were studied under various environmental conditions. The fungus grew and sporulated on all media tested, however cellulose-asparagine agar proved the most suitable substrate for production of macronematous conidiophores typically encountered in nature. Sadasivania bhustha displayed a relatively wide temperature tolerance (15–30 C) in radial hyphal growth, sporula- tion, and conidial germination. Production of the conidiogenous apparatus followed a precise, first micronematous then macronematous, developmental sequence. Although this sequence was not altered by temperature or light conditions tested, the time interval between each stage was considerably affected. The culturally induced morphological variations of the conidiogenous cells are described and discussed.
