The Influence of Nutrition on the Growth and Sporulation of Two Strains of Epicoccum nigrum

Abstract
Two strains of E. nigrum were cultured on potato-dextose agar [PDA] and on 27 test media. Morphological differences, colony size and total number of spores were determined. On PDA, 1 strain, the sporulating strain, averaged 11 times more spores and 25% greater colony diameter than the other, the mycelial strain. On the test media, nutritional differences appeared. Starch was the preferred C source for the mycelial strain and glucose the preferred C source for the sporulating strain.
