Abstract

Growth of Fusarium moniliforme , F. proliferatum , and F. subglutinans on Czapek solution agar containing 20% saccharose resulted in both cultural differences and enhanced micromorphological features. F. moniliforme could be reliably distinguished from the other two species based on differences in colony color and texture. These differences were intensified by lowering the pH of the media from 7.7 to 4.4 without adversely affecting micromorphology.
