title: Effects of temperature and pH on growth and oospore production of three water-borne Pythium.
abstract: Temperature and pH significantly affect the growth and oospore production of the test fungi. The optimum temperature for mycelial production was nearly the same on both solid and liquid media. H-ion concentration has milder effect than temperature. The optimum temperature and pH value for oospore production agree remarkably with their respectives for growth.
