“The asexual spore, or conidium, is formed from the tips of specialized spore-forming cells in a precisely regulated developmental plan.”

“The PCR-based assay was sensitive enough to detect approximately 1 pg DNA, being equivalent to 1 conidium per sample.”

“This secondary conidium can sometimes engender a third cellule by a similar process.”

“The species is proposed as new because of DNA sequence differences, yellow-orange pigmentation of the cultures, absence of conidiophore branching, and comparatively long conidia.”

“Conidia borne in fours on a special conidiophore, the basidium.”

“Supplementation of cultures with the rich nutrient peptone has been previously shown to suppress submerged culture conidiation.”

“Small round conidia were attached to short simple conidiophores, resembling lollipops.”

“In many plant pathogenic fungi, conidia are the infectious propagules responsible for initiating infection as well as disease dissemination.”

“Fungi of this genus produce characteristic darkly pigmented, septate hyphae or conidia.”
