The formation of frequent additional colonies and of sectors (areas) at fungi.
By using single-spore culture method in three points standard system, additional colonies and sectors (areas) are formed due to the dislocation of growing colonies and dissemination of conidia, respectively. Droplets (resulting from condensation of the exudate on Petri dish lids) falling on or touching the conidial masses are responsible for sectors (areas) and additional colonies formation.
