Influence of some carbon sources on growth ofCochliobolus sativus

摘要

Four isolates ofC. sativuswere able to use a number of carbon sources to varying degrees with little evidence of a differential growth response by the isolates. With most carbon sources the response was different when growth on liquid media was compared with that on agar media. Dextrin andL-sorbose were exceptions as dextrin supported good growth with both types andL-sorbose poor with both. Lactose supported the best mycelial growth on liquid media and dextrin the best radial growth and sporulation on agar media when compared with sucrose.
