IXTRCDUCEION A fungus, growing on stable manure Was collected by Dr. Ernst Bessey, at East Lansing, in the full of 1944. Upon examination, geurl-like structures and smull glistening hyaline mucous droplets were found on the substrate. In order to determine the taxonomic position of the fungus, it was necessary to isolate and germinate single cells, and to study the behavior of this fungus under different conditions of nutrition, and environmentul factors. These studies constitute the body of this thesis. The germination of a single cell (conidium or escospore) resulted in the production of the asexual stage belonging to the form genus Gliocledium, and the perfect stage which proved to be a species of Lilliputia. As will be seen from the body of this thesis, the results of the present study indicate that the fungus under consideration is e new Species. it the suggestion of Dr. Bessey the name Lilliputie mergnritecee is hereby proposed for this fungus in accordance with the following description: Lilliputig mergnritacea, sp. nov.

REVIEW OF LITE'AIURE Lilliputia Boudier et Patouillard (5) is described as somewhat resembling Terfezia in so far as the spores are concerned. The perithecia are described as having a cortical portion which is very thick and much differentiated around the gleba. A great number of asci are found in the jelly-like matrix. The spores are yellow-brown inside a very white perithecium. In 1887 Winter suggested a possible relationship between Gliocladium penicillioides Corda (3) and Eurotium insigpe (26). He mentioned conidia but gave no characteristics for them. Later Fetch concluded that this was not the imperfect stage for E. insigge but named _G_. macrgodinum in its place. In 1910 Bainier (2) described Gliocladium prolificum. a perfect stage was feund which was thought to belong to the Perisporaceae. In 1946 Dennis and Wakefield (9) suggested that Eurotium insigne Winter, Lilliputia gaillardi Boud. et Pat., and g, penicillioides Corda, are the sane species and the new combination Lilliputia insignia was proposed for this fungus and the other three names are synonymous. This was placed into Eurotiaceae near Eurotium. Eurotiun was first suggested as the perfect stage of the genus Gliocl:~<‘iiuIII. In 1946 Dennis and Z'Jakefield named Lilliputie as the perfect stage. The above includes a review of those species of Glioclldimn hav- ing a sexual stage reseibling that of our fungus, and those associated with the two species of Lilliputia hitherto described. III. IILITEPZLVLS [JD GEEK-J, LETHODS A. Cultures 0f the twelve original cultures made by Dr. Bessey in 1944, only one, #11, was revived and used for further study. Others were either dead or contaminated. manure extract was used in an attempt to revive these cultures. The medium.Was prepmred in accordance with the following directions: Fill one half of flask with horse manure. Add water to the top of flask. Steam and stir frequently'for one hour in an Arnold Steamer. Filter through several thicknesses of cheese cloth. Sterilize at 15 pounds pressure for 1% hours. This extract can be stored for further use. Eff: Manure Extract Agar 2cc. Manure extract 2 gms. agar 9800. distilled water Cultures were examined at intervals in.mounts of lacto-phenol, or lacto phenol and cotton blue which stained the fungus light blue showing the phialides well. All measurements were made in Lacto phenol mounts with a Filar Microme ter . To prevent contamination Petri plates containing fungus cultures which were kept in incubators for 10 days, were sealed with scotch tape. Previous experimentation showed no effects on growth due to a possible decrease in oxygen. III B.

III, C. Eitrogen and Carbon Eguivalents The basic medium (Coons synthetic agar) was sugar free. Two constant sources of nitrogen used were potassium nitrate and a-esparegine. The 2.029 grams of KYO used per liter of Coons synthetic 3 medium contain .280 gms. of nitrogen. Asperagine having the same equivalent was used (1.320 grams of a-esparagine contain .280 grams of nitrogen per liter.) With these two constant nitrogen sources, various molurities of sugars were used. Two sets of each molarity of sugar were prepared in 500c. aliquots and each set run in triplicate. KH03 was used as a nitrogen source in one set and a-asparagine in the other (TABLE 1). 7‘ V‘ ’V‘! - n-rvfi TIE 31. “ICU?“S ,1 31312 ;”D C ”301 “ JLTI..L;:13 IE; :LDIA ELELOYZD; ITI'I‘.‘ CC T42; COLSTA.

Single cell isolations a. Gennination of conidia A duplicate series of water’hlanks ccntaining various amounts of water, at.1cc. intervals from..1cc to lcc, was prepared. One pair of water blanks for each interval was inoculated with conidia obtained by applying a sterile platinum.wire to a single conidial lead. Each tube was shaken to separate the individual spores so that when the contents was poured onto a plate containing solidified 2%.manure agar and the plate rotated, the spores spread fairly evenly on the surface. Each plate of filtered 2% manure agar contained about 150c. of agar. The plates were inverted on the stage of the microscope and observed through the low power objective. 4s spores were found, an India ink mark was made on the glass so that the spores could be located thereafter. Best results were obtained with.the .500 water blanks. The spores were spread out sufficiently so that single germinating spores could be cut out readily and transferred to 2% agar plates. The majority of conidia had germinated 13 hours after inoculation. Ihrphal tips were cut from the resulting colonies and transferred to test tubes containing 2% . manure agar. All single cell isolations and hyphal tip inoculations produced the Gliocladium stage within a few days, and the perfect stage within 10 days (Plate 1, Figure 1). Iv. A, I, b. Germination of ascospores The same method used in genuinating conidia was also used in determining the best dilution for ascospore isolations. In this case, however, a single mature perithecium (the surface of which sometimes bore conidia) Was transferred to each sterile water blank and crushed with a sterile glass rod. Each dilution was shaken for 60 seconds to separate the ascospores, poured on a cooled 2% filteredl manure'agar plate. The plates were rotated, and after the excess moisture had evaporated, they were inverted on the stage on the micros00pe and marked with India ink to indicate positions of the ascospores. Best results were obtained with one crushed perithecium in .5cc. of sterile tap water. These plates were examined daily until the agar had almost dehydrated but no germinated spores were found. This procedure was repeated three times with the sane results. ' Heat was used in an attempt to germinate ascospores. four sterile test tubes containing ascospores suspended in .5cc. sterile distilled water were prepared, and placed in water baths at the following temperatures indicated below, and poured onto 15cc. 2Q manure agar. Tube fil-- 7000 for 10 minutes. Tube #8-- 90 C for 5 minutes. / Tube ga--eooc for 10 minutes. Tube 34-- 5000 for 10 minutes. 30 germinations had occurred up to the 10th day. Hydrochloric acid was chosen in a third attempt to germinate the ascospores. Since the fungus had been found on manure, the following experiment was set up. According to Dukes (10), the H01 range of the stomach of the horse lies between .14 and.21fl. The statement that the stomach emptied its contents conpletely within two and one half days was taken into consideration. The following dilutions of 301 were prepared: .l4%, .153, .163, .175, .13fi, .192, .20%, and .21fl. Two tenths of a mi. 1For all single spore isolations, media were filtered through washed glass wool. 10 of each dilution was transferred to a test tube, sterilized, and inoculated with one mature perithecium which later was crushed with sterih rod. Three sets of dilutions were nrenared' one set "digested" one da' another tn 1 .. 3 - 3 d 0 days and the last, two and one half days. Out of five repetitions, germinations occurred only twice at .16 and 21% (PLATE 1, Figure 2). Since HCl treatxent killed all conidia which were transferred to the water blanks with the perithecia, the resulting germinating ascospores were known to be "pure". For this reason all single cell germinations derived from.HCl treatment were used or stock cultures throughout all experiments. ascospores were induced to germinate by freezing in a refrigerator freezing canpartment at -60C for 18 hours. A perithecium was crushed in a sterile test tube containing .5cc. of sterile tap water and placed in the -6°C freezing compartnent. After 18 hours, the tube was allowed to thaw and the contents then poured onto a cooled 2% manure agar plate and rotated. Germination of ascospores and conidia occurred. Colonies from.all single cell isolations (ascospore or conidium) produced both perfect and imperfect stages. 11 \ IV, B. Bil ect of Vu:ious ructors on Growth and Reproduction l. lutrition a.

IV, B. lfligfli A plate of‘oat agar containing the fungus which had grown the diameter of the plate, was left in a dark cupboard for a few days. When renoved, perithecia were found in great abundance. This Was the first indication that light was not necessary for fruiting. In order to keep all plates at approximately the same temperature, a large petri dish container was packed with cotton leaving enough room up next to the container cover for 6 Petri plates. Those plates exposed to light were placed on topIof the Petri dish container 2 feet under a 60 watt leap for 10 days. Those exposed to darkness were left inside the Petri dish container and those exposed to intermittent 1:5:th were placed on top of the container cover for 12 hours and inside the container for 12 hours alternately. The container was opened only when placing the intermittent light plates from light in darkness and in light again. This was done inta darkroom.

Nutrition, Temperature, and hydrogen Ion Concentration Synthetic and organic media liessurements of various fungus structures were made from cultures grown on wheat agar and.modified Fries synthetic agar plus .55 yeast extract. Each medium.was divided into five, 5000c. aliquots and one aliquot adjusted to each of the following pH values: 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.4, and 8.0. Approximately 15cc. of agar were poured into each of 15 Ietri dishes which were subsequently inoculated. Three dishes were incubated at each of the following temperatures- 22, 24, 26, 23, and 30°C.

D_°C-SSIUN Then sterile whole menure is inoculated with Lilliputie merrurituces, glistening, hy-line mycelium oun be seen nfter three deys growth. The conidiel stefe is visible on the 5th dey when the myceliwn is ubundunt but the individual strunds sepiruted. The surface of wnole menure is covered with verious sizes of numerous, fluid, hyuline droplets just visible to the nuked eye. These droplets are found throughout the grow- ing area but are more numerous ut the center. The conidioPhores are produced from a much thinner mycelium (PLATE 7 III, Figure].); they ere septete, hyeline, smooth, elmost elwuys unbrenched end symmetricel. They average 4ll by 2O)4in size with e renge of 230-431 X 9'4'21P' The majority of conidioghorcs ere narrower ct the upper portion then ct the bees. They give off two branches (4.3-5.5 X 25.8-54.$p) which in turn give off 5—4 metulee (5.4-4.5 X 21.5p) which further brunch into 2- pl: slides (2.2-3.4 X 25.8.43”) euch (PL "‘3 II, Figures 1 8c 2). --s the culture gets older, asymmetrical brenching becomes more pronounced, one to two brunches being pnaduced one septum below the first series of branches. In generel, the sterignete cut off tires types of Spores; the majority are ellipsoidel (1.6-2.4 X 4.4-10p). Spherical (e-eP) end ovoid forms (3.4-3.3 X 6.7-7.2g) ere also produced (PLW’E IV, Figure 1). These spores are produced in succession and just before they ere cut off, a fluid droplet is formed around the conidiel heed allowing the older Spores to disperse while the younger ones lie side by side on their sides in the droplet. r+"nis fluid droplet has tie consistency of meter until the culture beeches Old end/or someyh t dehydruted. when the hulidity is high, these droplets ere of vuried sizes depending on the eye of the 50 .conidiul sppurstus. Lhen.the heed becunes heavy'with spores end fluid; it falls onto the substrate spreading the spores in the Lnnediete area. In 7-10 days depending on the light intensity, perithecia (400-7OQp, mostly 500flwhen mature) are produced--mostly on woody remnants in manure-- by the coiling of mycelium which produces a rcpy, waxy peritheciul well conteining muny pupillute heirs. The Well is loose end.hurd at first but becomes more compict and soft at maturity. The well is 6-9 cells thick (47-75p), the brosdest cells are in the middle layer end the narrowest on either side. Ehen first produced (6th duy) the perithecie are light ten and sppeur pearl-like (PLJTE , Figure l), but us the sscopores mature within the gleba (524-606)»), their color changes to light brown (st this time the esci are fully mature end the ascospores ere hyeline and immature). The mature perithecie finally appear rust colored due to the mature rust colored escospores (19.5-21.5p) (FLATE V, Figure 2) showing through the still light brown peritheciel well. In about 15 deys the esci appear. They are pyriform and loosely packed, but just before disintegration (17-19th dey) of the escul well the aculeute, hyuline sscospores are tightly peeked (PLJZE V, Figure 3) within the escus. The mnture asci are difficult to see because of the thinnes of their Wells. They ere bulg- ing (24.4-30.1 by 36.5-55.9»), end heve reuched their maximum elusticity. Upon disintegration of the usci, the sscospores are still hyuline, and beer aculeste spines shout é the diumeter of the spore in length (PLgTE 3, Figure 2). The ascospores ct maturity becoue verrucose to echinulute (1.9-2.2») PLJTE 5, Figure 2. Upon comparing the cheracteristics of this fungus with the descriptions of those listed in the appendix, it was found that our-fungus resembles three known species. The similarities and differences between Lillieutie 51 geillhrdii, Gliocl:-..dium prolificuml, Lilliput in insignis end our fungus ere discussed below. The mature esci of Lilliputie g-gilerii are described (5) es oblong. The escospores are light brown at maturity, but eppeer white when seen through the per ithecium. ‘i'he nature escospores of Lilliputie HIJIQ‘LAI‘l'tLiCGLL are el':-.eys rust colored at rmturity independent of the type of media used H} for growth. *he mature asci ere subglobose. The esci of Lilliput is Eilllbl‘dii as shown by Boudier end Petouillerd (5) are loosely packed comgnred to those of Lilliputie ::i~;r§:.iriticea (P1423 5, figure 3). The esci of Lilliputie guillerdii are SIiLll compared to those of our fungus; ascospores of both species have a "warty eppeerence". In the description of Glioclediwn prolificum, the conidiophores are described as being brenciied at every septum. This cinrecteristic is not ordinerily exhibited by our fungus. The conidia of Lilliputiefi murgsritucee are mastly elliptical. Those of Gliocladium prolificum are mostly oval. Perithecie essoci-eted with _C_}__._prolificum were thought to belong to the Perisporieceee, however from the description of both stag-es (2) that species appears to be congeneric with If. :rn-rgeritecee. The color of the polyhedral cells in the peritheciel Well, the size and color of the sscospores and the size of the echinuletions =ire like those characteristics of our fungus.

Single cell isolutions of condidu end oscospores were mine end gerninutions of both types of spores produced an asexuul stuge belong- ing to the genus Gliocledium and e sexuul stuge of the genus Lilliputiu. 3. A culture, resulting from u single ascospore germinution, nus grown 32_Vitro und used to determine a) optimum tenpereture, b) suituble eurbon and nitr03en sources, c) optimum hydrogen ion concentrution, d) possible synthetic mediu which could be used to produce both stuges of the fungus, e) growth.on v rious organic media, f) the effect of light, intermfttent light, and derkness on growth, conidiul meusurenents, end fruitificetion of the fungus and, g) the combined eff ct of veried tenperetures, pH's and media on growth, fruitificstion and morphology. 4. In generul, orgunic nediu were quite suituble for growth und reproduction of ;=_nnrggrituceu in tnet both stuges were produced in abundunce in a short time (10 days). 5. In an attempt to produce a synthetic nedinm.on thich the fungus produces both stages, vuried molsrities of sugurs were used in combination with two nitrogen sources (K303 and e-espursgine). The conbinetion of .03 molur multose end e-ueperogine resulted in conidiul formution. Io fruiting was found in other coibinutions. 6. Fries and wheat ugurs were used in an experiment showing the effects of temperuture, media and pH on the growth and meusurements of the fungus. The following conclusions were druun from the results _obtein863 u) Veristion in pH at s constant tenperuture cnuses upgreciuble differences in messurements of conidiophores, ccnidie, end metulde. Other structures are fairly constant. Fries modified synthetic (plus .5; yeust extruct); a) 'Vuriution in pH at a constant tang ruture causes upgrecieble differences in meesurenents of conidioghores, bruncnes, phislides end netulee. 7. Fungus growth occurred from 14-5000, the optimum temgersture being 2400. The ph optimum differs with media used. 3. The effect of ligh on fruiting Wes influenced by the media employed.

This small species is composed of nunerous filaments united in colonies, erect and ending at the peak by a small rounded white head formed by the united spores on he top of a small cupitulum. These filaments are rigid but nevertheless are a little flexible, simple in all their length e: ccept -t the extreme peak there they a: e divided e“a 11 penicillifonn branches; they are septate, blackish when seen thru the magnifying glass but are rust under the microscope, divided 71 at the peak in 2 or 4 very short branches, evenly colored which support other uncolored (hyaline) cylindriCul divisions; these are then divided at their p uk in 4 others, these supporting elongated sterigmata which pnaduce the conidiospores. The whole is held together by a Water soluble mucilage in a globose head which seems supported at the base by the 2-4 snail colored branches. The spores are hyaline, elliptical nithout granulations and are 3-%p long by 3;-5p wide.

The 0 fru'tificetions were sghericul, glubrous, whitish to cream colored, approximately 500p in dium. end scattered singly over the surface of the congost. Licrotone sections showed them to have u stout Wall, sons 80 to 90p.thick, canposed of ten to twelve layers of cells, differ ntieted into an outer belt, three to four cells Wide, of empty cells, and an inner zone, 7-3 cells wide, densely peeked with oil globules. The center of the escocerp consisted of thin Walled tissue in which were inbedded numerous esci, each with S spherical yellow ascospores. The letter neusured ll-ldp in diameter with e lsrge central oil globule end u well about by thick, densely studded with short blunt Hurts. These measuregents tere mnde on stores within usci. ' Excegt for store size, this agrees precisely with the dieghosis of L. guillurdii described from humus in e glues house in angers, Frufice, April lQCO. hccording to Loudier nnd Futouillerd (1900) this fungus had spores zs—eep in diam.
