Comments
Impeller-associated shear effects during fermentation
The DNA sequences indicate that this strain is phylogenetically closer to Neurospora intermedia than Neurospora sitophila.
Morphology
After 5 days on Neurospora medium at 25°C, colony is low, velutinous, buff-colored. Hyphae hyaline, geniculate. After 2 months, arthroconidia abundant, ellipsoidal or irregularly shaped.
Medium
ATCC® Medium 336: Potato dextrose agar (PDA)
ATCC® Medium 331: Neurospora culture agar
