Abstract

The effect on the rate of spore discharge in Sordaria fimicola of small concentrations of carbon dioxide has been studied. Substitution of an air-stream containing 0·2–2·5 per cent carbon dioxide for air freed from this gas circulating over the perithecia always led to a marked increase in the rate of spore discharge.
