Colony interactions and mycoparasitism between Acremonium furcatum and Aspergillus spp.

Abstract

Colony interactions and mycoparasitism between Acremonium furcatum and ten species of Aspergillus were studied in dual cultures. It was observed that A. furcatum overgrew the colonies of all the ten species of Aspergillus studied. During the mycoparasitic interactions frequent coiling, penetration and growth of hyphae of A. furcatum inside the conidiophores of six species of Aspergillus were observed. © 1981 Martinus Nijhoff/Dr W.
