Oil cakes as media for growing Catenaria anguillulae Sorokin, a facultative endoparasite of nematodes

Growth, morphology, visibility of sporangia and colony colour of 10 isolates of Catenaria anguillulae were compared on six media: linseed oil-cake agar, mustard oil-cake agar, neem oil-cake agar, beef extract agar, Emerson agar and YPSS agar with a view to selecting the best growth medium. In genera...

Description
Summary:Growth, morphology, visibility of sporangia and colony colour of 10 isolates of Catenaria anguillulae were compared on six media: linseed oil-cake agar, mustard oil-cake agar, neem oil-cake agar, beef extract agar, Emerson agar and YPSS agar with a view to selecting the best growth medium. In general, maximum radial growth of most of the isolates was recorded on linseed oil-cake agar medium, whereas neem oil-cake agar medium supported least growth of all the isolates of C. anguillulae. Linseed oil-cake agar medium also maintained the typical characters of the fungus and clear visibility of morphological details.
