Summary

Three isolates ofColletotrichum graminicola (Ces.)Wils. (from wheat, orchard grass and alfalfa) were used in an investigation of their comparative physiology. The carbon compounds, lactose, sucrose, d-mannitol, d(+) mannose, d(+) raffinose, dextrose and d(-) levulose and the nitrogen compounds, DL-histidine, L(+) asparagine, L-arginine, DL-tryptophane, ammonium nitrate and Difco Yeast extract were utilized by all three isolates. Differences were noticed only in the amounts utilized. The utilization of certain carbon and nitrogen compounds by the isolates depended on their precultural substrates light, and concentration of glucose in the medium.
