2010) in that we have observed conidia to be somewhat narrower (2.8–3.2 μm in the protologue) and to have a narrower range of L/W (1.3–1.5 in the protologue). We have also observed a considerably slower growth rate on SNA in the Samuels lab for both T. reesei and T. parareesei than was recorded in the protologue. These differences possibly reflect the greater number of strains used in the present study. The conidial dimensions given in the description here include those of the two strains included in Atanasova PD0325901 ic50 et al. (2010).

In agreement with Atanasova et al. (2010) we observed in cultures of the two species on PDA, incubated at 25°C under light that T. parareesei produced considerably more conidia than did T. reesei. 15.

Optimum BMS-354825 mouse temperature for growth on PDA 30–35°C, on SNA 30°C; on PDA after 72 h at 30–35°C in darkness with intermittent light colony completely filling a 9-cm-diam Petri plate; on SNA after 96 h at 25–30°C in darkness with intermittent light completely filling a 9-cm-diam Petri plate, slightly slower at 35°C. Conidia and a pale yellow diffusing pigment forming within 24 h at 30–35°C and within 48 h at 20–25°C in colonies grown on PDA in darkness

with intermittent light; on SNA conidia appearing somewhat later, within 48 h at 30–35°C and within 72 h at 25°C. Colonies grown on PDA for 1 week at 25°C under light producing conidia in abundance in scattered blue green to dark green pustules, sometimes in concentric rings. Colonies grown on SNA for Etofibrate 1 week at 25°C under light producing scattered pustules; pustules hemispherical, 0.25–1 mm diam, dark green, lacking hairs. Individual conidiophores visible within pustules on SNA; pustules formed of intertwined hyphae. Conidiophores arising from hyphae within pustules, typically comprising a main axis producing solitary phialides; intercalary phialides infrequent. Phialides (n = 60) typically lageniform, straight, sinuous or hooked, (4.2–)5.5–9.0(−12.0) μm long, (2.0–)2.5–3.5(−4.2) μm at the widest point, L/W (1.3–)1.5–3.5(−5.0), base (1.2–)1.5–2.2(−2.7) μm wide, arising from a cell (1.7–)2.0–3.0(−4.0) μm wide. Conidia (n = 60) ellipsoidal, (2.2–)2.5–3.5(−5.0) × (1.7–)2.5–3.0(−3.5) μm, L/W (1.2–)1.3–1.7(−1.0) (95% ci: 3.9–4.1 × 2.6–2.7 μm, L/W 1.5–1.6), green, smooth. Chlamydospores not observed.
