Overview |
Grows on malt-yeast extract agar or hay infusion agar pH 6-7.3 with the unidentified bacterium (Malaya) and the unidentified yeast (Kitani) at room temperature or in an incubator at 23 C. Sporocarp consisting of a slender, narrowly tubular stalk with apical expansion (apophysis) bearing a single spore. Stalks 70-185 µ long; Spore deciduous with a basal hilum. Spores globose, 11.3-33.8 µ diam. The trophic stage consists of non-reticulate and reticulate plasmodia and uninucleate to plurinucleate amoeboid cells, uninucleate amoebae becoming anteriorly uniflagellate or occasionally bi-flagellate in water, with or without supernumerary flagella. Zoocysts develop immediately after spore germination. Multinucleate resting cysts develop in older cultures.
