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. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-82-1-25
