Abstract: | Oospore germination occurred over a temperature ranging of 15–35°C forPythium coloratum, 10–35°C forP. diclinum, 15–30°C forP. dissotocum, 7–30°C forP. monospermum, and 10–30°C forP. pleroticum. Optimum temperature was 25°C for all species tested. In case of pH, oospore germination occurred over a range of 4.76–8.55 with an optimum of 6.40–7.40. The least germination occurred at pH 4.76 forP. coloratum, P. diclinum, P. monospermum andP. pleroticum, whileP. dissotocum germinated from pH 5.02. Oospores of the all tested pythia were able to germinate at –0.13 to –1.65 MPa and could not germinate at –3.40 MPa, with the highest germination rate at –0.27 to –0.47 MPa. The effect of temperature, pH and osmotic potential on oospore germination was discussed in relation to pollution of pond water. |
