Abstract

A medium containing L-sorbose and sodium deoxycholate was devised which induces colonial growth of Phanaerochaete chrysosporium in the presence of a variety of supplements. The restricted size and heavy conidial production of the colonies permits high plating densities and the use of a replica-plating technique for copying the pattern of colony growth.
