Abstract: | Sclerotium rolfsii was grown in various atmospheres, the compositionsof which were controlled by the diffusion column technique.Growth-rate of mycelium was constant within a range of oxygenconcentrations from 3 to 21 per cent, but dirminished steadilyas carbon dioxide concentration increased from about 0.03 percent. The rate of sclerotial germination was reduced by oxygenconcentrations less than 6 per cent and by carbon dioxide concentrationsgreater than about 10 per cent. No sclerotia were formed ifthe concentration of oxygen fell below 15 per cent or if thatof carbon dioxide exceeded 4 per cent. The effects of inverserationof gases, from 0 per cent oxygen: 20 per cent carbon dioxideto 21 per cent oxygen: 0 per cent carbon dioxide, were in eachcase similar to the effect of the corresponding carbon dioxideconcentration when combined with 21 per cent oxygen. |
