ECOLOGICAL STUDIES ON TILE SYMBIOSIS OF TER ITOMYCES ...

4.3.1 MMUDS
4.3 BLASTMPME, GMMINATION
A spore suspension was prepared in distilled water using
cultural mycotetes from a Termitomycon culture associated with
tfacrotemes bellicosus. 0.1 ml of the sporo suspension was pipetted
cnto-CA plates (Appendix 1) and incubated at 300C. The gemination
and development of the spores and mycellum was observed at Oo 69 24
and 48 hours and at 41 7,10,14 and 17 days after inoculation.
