A Simplified Medium for Growth and Sporulation of Pilobolus Species
نویسندگان
چکیده
Formation of sporangia induced by light in Pilobolus species has been reported by several workers (1, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 14). Since 1952 synthetic media containing specific growth factors: hemin (8, 10, 11), coprogen (2, 3, 15), or ferrichrome (7, 9) have been used for culturing members of this genus. Because Pilobolus can be grown on synthetic media and sporangium formation is induced with light, this genus has been suggested for use in studying problems dealing with sporangium development (9). The present research deals with the study of various synthetic media to determine which would be best suited for sporangium

Pyricularia oryzae (Tel. Magnaporthegrisea) is currently used as a fungal model for plantmicrobeinteraction studies as well as an indicative model for anticancer drug discovery. Thepresent study introduces the optimal condition in which P. oryzae grows and sporulates beston common culture media. We have considered three fungal culture media, i.e. PDA, PCA andWA, based on which P. oryzae sporula...

متن کاملMedium Promoting Sporulation of Bacillus larvae and Metabolism of Medium Components.
A new medium, designated TMYGP broth, was developed that allowed the honeybee pathogen Bacillus larvae NRRL B-3650 to produce up to 5 x 10 spores per ml of culture (microscopic count). This species normally sporulates poorly, if at all, in artificial broth media. An aeration rate lower than that normally used to cultivate other Bacillus species was required for sporulation. During the exponenti...
