- Abstract
Macro- and micromorphology of 30 living subcultures of Absidia corymbifera (10 strains plus three strains of Absidia ramosa) and Absidia blakesleeana (two strains) preserved under mineral oil at room temperature for periods ranging from 3 to 44 years in The Fungal Culture Collection of Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC) were observed and described by permanent mycological preparations mounted in a glycerol 10% and/or Amann lactophenol solution. Vegetative and asexual reproductive structures are illustrated by drawings made with the aid of a camera-lucida. The study showed that the period of maintenance under mineral oil and the stress which took place during the period of storage did not affect the vegetative and asexual reproductive morphology of the Absidia strains and species studied here.
