Abstract

SUMMARY The average number of nuclei per conidium can be increased from a value of approximately 2.6 on minimal medium to approximately 6.2 on complete medium. The conidia on complete medium have a volume that is increased approximately in proportion to the increase in number of nuclei. The responsible factors appear to be, at least in part, dicarboxylic amino acids.
