Visualization of hyphal sheath in wood-decay Hymenomycetes. II. White-rotters [Structure, differences in attack]

Hyphae of each of five isolates representing five species of white-rot fungi had hyphal sheaths when grown in axenic culture. Sheaths were most evident when hyphae were appressed against a solid substrate such as steel, glass, cotton, or agar. The amount of sheath around hyphae varied among isolates...

Description
Summary:Hyphae of each of five isolates representing five species of white-rot fungi had hyphal sheaths when grown in axenic culture. Sheaths were most evident when hyphae were appressed against a solid substrate such as steel, glass, cotton, or agar. The amount of sheath around hyphae varied among isolates. Most sheaths were fine fibrillar in texture, but often inclusions were present which altered the histological appearance. Only two isolates had protoplasmic inclusions from autolyzing hyphae within the sheaths. Necrotic cells occurred but lacked sheaths.
