The Production of Conidiophores and Conidia by Newly Germinated Conidia of Aspergillus niger (Microcycle Conidiation) [PDF]
SUMMARY: The ability of Aspergillus niger conidia to produce conidiophores after germination in shaken culture at 30° was stimulated by the inclusion of glutamate in the medium. Incubation of the conidia at 35° to 41° increased swelling of the conidia and also the proportion which produced conidiophores.

Transformation of Epichloë typhina by electroporation of conidia [PDF]
Abstract Background Choke, caused by the endophytic fungus Epichloë typhina, is an important disease affecting orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) seed production in the Willamette Valley. Little is known concerning the conditions necessary for successful infection of orchardgrass by E. typhina.

Entomophthora Conidia in the Air-spora [PDF]
SUMMARY: At Silwood Park, Berkshire, in 1958, the largest concentration of each of five ‘types’ of Entomophthora conidia in the air typically occurred at 05.00 to 07.00 h. and was associated with humid air and sunrise. The smallest concentration occurred between 14.00 and 17.00 h. when the air was usually driest.

Biosynthesis of many ecologically important secondary metabolites (SMs) in filamentous fungi is controlled by several global transcriptional regulators, like the chromatin modifier LaeA, and tied to both development and vegetative growth.

Novel Treatment Approach for Aspergilloses by Targeting Germination
Germination of conidia is an essential process within the Aspergillus life cycle and plays a major role during the infection of hosts. Conidia are able to avoid detection by the majority of leukocytes when dormant.

Infective conidia from entomopathogenic fungi are widely used to control insect pests. Many entomopathogenic fungi also produce yeast-like cells called blastospores under specific liquid culture conditions that can directly infect insects.
