PERMEABILIZATION, CELL WALL ULTRASTRUCTURE, AND GERMINATION OF BASIDIOSPORES OF THE ECTOMYCORRHIZAL FUNGUS Pisolithus microcarpus TREATED WITH DIFFERENT COMMERCIAL BRANDS OF BLEACH
Abstract:Basidiospores of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus microcarpus have an impermeable cell wall, a characteristic that is possibly related to the low germination percentages of these propagules, which makes it difficult to obtain monokaryons and use these spores in inoculants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of commercial bleach on the permeabilization of P. microcarpus basidiospores and to analyze the alterations caused in the cell wall ultrastructure and th… Show more
