IMPACT OF POLLUTED HABITATS ON MICROMORPHOLOGY OF THE FUNGUS PESTALOTIOPSIS GUEPINⅡ

摘要

Based on light microscopic studies of the isolated fungus, Pestaloliopsis guepinii, it was shown that the presence of non-ostiolate pycnidial conidiomata in artificial culture and polluted habitats, but the fungus is known to produce only acervular conidiomata on leaves and non-polluted habitats. This light microscopic study of P. guepinii showed that polluted habitats would alter the development of conidiomata and conidia.
