Abstract
AbstractA new technique for collecting aerial conidiating parts of Penicillium italicum was used to study the action of imazalil as an antisporulant. In spite of its very low vapor pressure, imazalil reached the target site–‐the aerial hyphae–‐via the vapor phase. Using 14C‐labelled imazalil it was found that uptake proceeded very rapidly, reaching concentrations of 2 to 3.8 μg imazalil per g fresh weight of aerial mycelium within 24 hr. This amount caused alterations, both in the morphology of the hyphae and in ergosterol biosynthesis.
