Overview | |
Grows and sporulates well on oak bark agar (at pH 7) with Xanthomonas sp. as the food organism. Sporocarps single-spored, 32.5-45 µm tall with bipartite stalk, the upper portion narrow and the lower portion basally expanded. Spores spherical, smooth-walled, basally apiculate, uninucleate, 11.3-17.4 µm diam.; sporocarps discharged by explosive force within the stalk region. Trophic stage amoeboid and non-flagellate usually flabellate during migration, typically uninucleate, occasionally binucleate; nucleolus irregular and often multi-lobed; prespore cell papillate during early morphogenesis. Cysts round, oval, or irregular in shape, uninucleate, 9-33.6 µm diam. or 7.2-22.8 x 9.6-26.4 µm. The nucleolus of the cyst nucleus generally has a more regular shape than that of amoeboid cells
