Abstract
The heterothallic strains of Blakeslea trispora differ in a number of morphological, physiological, and biochemical properties, such as the ability to form ampule-like mycelial bulges; carbon source (starch) ut ilization; growth parameters; enzyme activities; cell wall composition ; sporulation rate; and the chemical composition of stylospores and sp orangiospores. The data obtained are discussed in light of current con cepts on the ''physiological dioecism'' of the heterothallic strains o f mucorous fungi.
