Anomalies physio-morphologiques de la souche viros�e (Bali 1) d'Allomyces arbuscula

Abstract

An escape reaction of the hyphae from virus-containing strain Bali 1 ofA. arbuscula was detected when intra-and interspecific Allomyces cultures were opposed on solid media. Hyphae of this virus-containing strain proliferate into witch-broom structures only detectable on solid media in which bunches of rhizoid-like structures remain more superfcial than those of the control cultures, suggesting that metabolism of the Bali 1 strain is altered into a more aerobic type.
