Badhamia gracillis}, JOURNAL = {Taiwania}, VOLUME = {35}, YEAR = {1990}, ISSUE = {1}, PAGES = {57-63}, URL = {https://taiwania.ntu.edu.tw/abstract/69}, ABSTRACT = {Badhamia gracilis is reported for the first time from Taiwan. Morphological characteristics were examined with the aid of LM and SEM. Spores possess spines with the wall surface divided by ridges into large reticula. Spore germinated by splitting, with two protoplasts issuing from smaller spores and four from larger ones. Cream-colored plasmodia were then found in single swarm cell cultures. This collection is therefore non-heterothallic. Fruiting bodies thus formed produced viable spores resembling those from field collections. A description of the species based on the Taiwan collection is also provided.}, DOI = {10.6165/tai.1990.35.57} }
