Effect of inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis on growth and sexuality of Pythium and Zygorhynchus.

Seven commercial inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis were tested for their effect upon vegatative growth and sexuality in Pythium acanthicum and Zygorhynchus moelleri. Five compounds (SKF 525, Chlorpropamide, Tolbutamide, Benzmalacene, AY 9944) inhibited both growth and sexuality of both fungi and two (SKF 7732 and SKF 7997) were ineffective. Pythium was more sensitive to the activity of the inhibitors than was Zygorhynchus. None of the compounds tested inhibited sexuality without similarly reducing vegetative growth.

Ultrastructural aspects of wall regeneration by Pythium protoplasts.

Electron microscope studies were made of wall regeneration by Pythium protoplasts. Wall regeneration began with the formation of a loose network of fibrils on the surface of the protoplast followed by increase in density of the fibrillar mesh and deposition of granular mitrix material. The majority of the protoplasts did not develop beyond the loose fibrillar network stage, however a small percentage were able to complete wall formation and to form hyphal tubes. A clear zone of demarcation was visible between the fibrillar surface of the protoplast and the smooth surface at the base of the developing hyphal tube.
