N. Khurana et al., LIGHT-INDEPENDENT CONIDIATION IN TRICHODERMA SPP - A NOVEL-APPROACH TO MICROCYCLE CONIDIATION, World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 9(3), 1993, pp. 353-356
Microcycle conidiation in Trichoderma hamatum and T. harzianum has bee
n achieved in complete darkness for the first time. The time required
for mass conidiation without intervening vegetative growth was decreas
ed to 24 h instead of 6 to 7 days. The conidia produced by microcycle
conidiation were viable and had pigmentation and antagonistic behaviou
r similar to those of the parental stock cultures.
