Conidium ontogeny in hyphomycetes. The generaTorulomycesDelitsch andMonocilliumSaksena

摘要

Conidium ontogeny inTorulomyces lagenaDelitsch andMonocillium indicumSaksena, the type species ofTorulotnycesandMonocilliumrespectively, is analyzed by time-lapse photomicrography. The nuclear configurations occurring during conidiogenesis are also described. Since their development and karyology are essentially identical and their morphology closely similar, we consider them congeneric.Monocillium indicumis accordingly transferred toTorulomyces.
