Abstract

Conidia ofPeziza ostracodermaKorf, washed by centrifugation and decantation, germinated in a high percentage in glass-distilled water and various nutrient solutions. They also germinated on a wide variety of agar media and in citratephosphate buffers from pH 3 through 8. The conidia first swell to twice their original size, and then emit one cylindrical germ tube. The cardinal temperatures for germination were: minimum, below 3° C; optimum, 20°–33° C; maximum, between 38° and 42° C. A liquid film of water was required for germination.
