Example Sentences:
(1) The uptake of Cu2+ by mycelia and Pb2+ by sporocarps were highest among the five metals tested.
(2) This dependency was noted with two substrates, colonized compost and casing which supported sporocarps.
(3) Cd2+ and Co2+ were highly toxic to mycelia and sporocarps respectively.
(4) All metal salts at test concentrations reduced biological efficiency of sporocarp production but markedly by Co2+.
(5) Phenoloxidase activity was studied in mycelia carrying mutations that affect sporocarp formation.
(6) Treatment of spawned substrate separately with different metal salts showed maximum and minimum uptake of Pb2+ (100 micrograms g-1) and Cd2+ (2.93 micrograms g-1) respectively by sporocarps.
Sporophore
Definition:
(n.) A placenta.
(n.) That alternately produced form of certain cryptogamous plants, as ferns, mosses, and the like, which is nonsexual, but produces spores in countless numbers. In ferns it is the leafy plant, in mosses the capsule. Cf. Oophore.
Example Sentences:
(1) The other major soluble carbohydrate of the sporophore, trehalose, decreased throughout the growth of the sporophore; a parallel decrease was observed in the mycelium.
(2) Sporogony is disporoblastic, giving rise to 2 spores that are retained in pairs within the sporophorous vesicle.
(3) If it does, then all that will be required is a simple addition of this character to the definition; if not, U. legeri will have to be transferred to a new genus and reclassified with other disporoblastic genera that sporulate in sporophorous vesicles.
(4) Previous studies of ganoderma involvement in allergic asthma and rhinitis were extended by locating the sporophores (fruiting bodies) in the Auckland area and systematically collecting the ejected spores.
(5) Changes in the ethanol-soluble carbohydrate content of Agaricus bisporus mycelium and sporophores grown on semi-defined media and commercial compost were studied.
(6) A substantial amount (26 to 33%) of the fatty acids of the neutral lipids from both sporophore and mycelium were apparently of chain length greater than C18.
(7) Cultures which were grown for 24 or 48 h in the absence of drug and were then exposed to saperconazole showed a block in the development of hyphae, sporophores, vesicles, sterigmata and spores.
(8) A sporophorous vesicle forms around the sporonts, arising as a blister that separates from the electron-dense surface coat of the sporont.
(9) The representatives of Micromonospora and Streptosporangium, some strains of Proactinomyces and the cultures of Actinomyces forming whorl sporophores were the least stable when stored for a period up to 1 year.
(10) The ultrastructural study indicated the following characteristics: parasite stages arranged in a random, unstratified manner in the xenoma; merogony by multiple fission; sporogonic stages isolated within a sporophorous vesicle containing several sporoblasts and polysporoblastic sporogony.
(11) Unikaryon piriformis, which is the type species of the genus and is also hyperparasitic in platyhelminth larvae, has not been examined by electron microscopy, and it is not known whether this species also produces sporophorous vesicles.
(12) The development of the sporophorous vesicle stopped in many cases.
(13) The layer of the aerial mycelium was loosely connected with the substrate mycelium and consisted of sporophores and spore chains partially broken into single spores.
(14) Small quantities of glucose were present in the sporophore.
(15) We have estimated that between 400 and 1200 sporophores would account for previously reported levels of ganoderma spores collected from the air by Burkhard spore traps.
(16) The wall of the sporophorous vesicle was composed of two electron-dense outer layers and an electron-lucent intermediate layer.
(17) flavus and differed from the latter in the sporophores, colour of the substrate mycelium on synthetic media amd markedly pronounced antagonism with respect to yeasts and yeast-like fungi.
(18) Both conidial types originated on short lateral sporophores terminated by phialids.
(19) The main accumulation of mannitol was in the pileus and stipe of the sporophore and was accompanied by a decrease in the soluble protein content of these tissues.
(20) The spore form and spore membrane surface were close in all sporogenic variants, while there were significant differences in the structure of the sporophores.
