After 7 days, characteristic house mouse gray silky colonies with
aerial mycelium grew on both these medias.
Dense or loose rosette spreading
aerial mycelium with no pattern (A), slender coenocytic hyphae (B), with rounded or angular hyphal swellings, often in chains (catenulate) and delimited by septa (C).
The qualitative composition of actinomycetes (by type and color of colonies of
aerial mycelium) is quite diverse.
Streptomyces forms a genus of actinomyces, this organism has extensively branching secondary or
aerial mycelium, and primary or substrate mycelium.
Authors report white
aerial mycelium, which is a characteristic manifestation of this disease and the pathogenic fungus Saprolegnia.
In order study the morphological characteristics with reference to
aerial mycelium, substrate mycelium and sporulation, the isolated colonies were cultivated on glycerol asparagines agar by simple "Inclined cover slip culture technique" (Gibbs & shapton, 1968) as detailed below.
On PDA the colonies produced cottony
aerial mycelium that was grayish-white at first, later becoming cream-colored to light brown.
Ascomata were non-ostiolate, superficial, white to light cream colored, globose or subglobose, measuring 120 [micro]m-600 [micro]m in diameter, and covered with a white
aerial mycelium. The peridium was thin and membranous.
After incubation at 30 [degrees] C for 7 days, the colonies demonstrated gray
aerial mycelium. Microscopically, the hyphae were hyaline and septate.
No barrage or flat reactions were noted, although some mating exhibited lethal reactions on
AERIAL mycelium, not agar-surface.
The color of the
aerial mycelium was pinkish grey and the strain AVS7 produced diffusible reddish brown pigment.
