Nutritional studies of three species of Glœosporium

I. Effect of different sources of carbon and some of their mixtures

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Summary

1. Three species of Glœosporium were isolated from guava, lime and citron twigs. Their behaviour towards the mixture of various compounds of carbon were not similar.

2.G. psidii andG. limetticolum grew significantly better on any combination of galactose, raffinose and sorbitol whileG. citricolum supported less growth than on their individual sources. Mannitol alone supported best growth ofG. citricolum but it could produce excellent growth ofG. psidii when it was mixed with raffinose.

3. Excellent sporulation ofG. psidii was observed on a combination of all the four carbon substances, that ofG. citricolum on a mixture of raffinose and galactose or sorbitol and galactose.G. limetticolum gave best sporulation on raffinose alone.
