Effects of temperature and pH on growth and oospore production of three water-borne Pythium.
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.
