However, this filamentous fungus is known to reproduce solely by asexual means, shows only sporadic conidiospore production, and has gradual fragmentation of the vegetative mycelium into arthrospores.
Thus, it can be determined that all of the aforementioned groups of compounds are bioindicators that can be used for the detection of the vegetative mycelium because they distinguish between active and inactive fungi.
When zygospores are geminated prior to maturation, they form a vegetative mycelium that is either or.
Mitochondrial DNA was purified from 5 g of vegetative mycelium according to Fukumasa-Nakaï et al.[32].
Gentle crushing of exospore (outer zygospore wall) [31] resulted in the release of protoplast material, which developed into a vegetative mycelium (Fig. S2C).
Environmental signals such as nutrient depletion result in the development of initially aseptate aerial hyphae while part of the vegetative mycelium lyses [17] [19].
Streptomyces growth on solid media starts with the germination of a single spore that develops into a complex vegetative mycelium of branching hyphae [16].
When zygospores were mechanically disrupted, the multinuclear protoplast developed into a vegetative mycelium that contained nuclei of only the mating type, indicating that meiosis did not occur.
No dmtA or tmdA transcripts were detectable by Northern blot hybridizations using 50 µg of total RNA extracted from vegetative mycelium and self-fertilized fruiting bodies of a wild type strain (data not shown).
Asci arise from vegetative mycelium.
Samples for total vegetative mycelium (hereafter called "vegetative mycelium") were grown submerged in liquid cultures to prevent the formation of any sexual structures [ 41].
