title: Light-independent conidiation in Trichoderma spp.: a novel approach to microcycle conidiation.
abstract: Microcycle conidiation in Trichoderma hamatum and T. harzianum has been achieved in complete darkness for the first time. The time required for mass conidiation without intervening vegetative growth was decreased to 24 h instead of 6 to 7 days. The conidia produced by microcycle conidiation were viable and had pigmentation and antagonistic behaviour similar to those of the parental stock cultures.
