Abstract
Parasitism of C. rolfsii by a species of Aspergillus was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Within a few days after A. terreus infected sclerotia of C. rolfsii, conidiophores bearing numerous conidia of A. terreus covered the entire surfaces of the sclerotia. Most conidiophores arose from below the surface of sclerotia, while a few of them originated from the innermost layers of cortical tissue. Microdissection revealed that sclerotial surfaces in contact with A. terreus conidiophores were flat.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
