SUMMARY Mycotypha africana and four strains of Mycotypha microspora were studied. The former displayed total conversion from mycelium (M) to yeast (Y) when grown under N2 or in the presence of some electron-transport inhibitors with either glucose, fructose or mannose as carbon source. In air, mixed filamentous and yeast-like forms were frequently observed. Acid pH, high temperature, dense inoculum and high hexose level increased the proportion of the Y-form. Yeast and mycelial phases were interconvertible. All but one strains of M. microspora tested displayed similar dimorphism, but strain to strain variations were observed.
