TAXONOMICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF MICROSTRUCTURES IN PURE CULTURES OF MACROMYCETES

For the correct identification of the taxonomic position of cultures, a complex of morphological criteria are proposed by authors: presence and morphology of teleomorth stage; colour, morphology, and growth rate of mycelial colony; type of anamorph; presence, dislocation, and morphology of clamp connections; special hyphal structures and other characteristics. Using scanning electron microscopy, new data were obtained on microstructures of vegetative mycelium in more than 100 species.
