Abstract
Conclusions
The effect of actidione on the germination and the spore and mycelial respiration of Myrothecium verrucaria was measured by dosage-response curves and LD50 values and by change in per cent inhibition with time. Spore respiration was about 4 times as sensitive as germination and 10 times as sensitive as mycelial respiration. Only a small fraction of respiration seemed to be required for growth. Inhibition of spore and mycelial respiration decreased with time, in the spores because of decreasing sensitivity and possibly also because of detoxication.
