2-5, globose, smooth, 10-19 (av. 15.1± 0.6-95% C.I.) ..urn diameter. AN<strong>THE</strong>RIDIA: Mostly absent, occasionally monocIinous and originating just below oogonium base or diclinous, 1-2/ oogonium. OOSPORES: Plerotic, wall 1-2 (av. 1.5± 0.1-95% Cil.) ..urn thick. TEMPERATURE-GROWTH RELATIONSHIPS: Minimum 5" C, optinum 25° C, maximum 30" C. Daily growth rate on CMA at 25"C 16mm. MATERIAL EXAMINED: ex soil, Nablus (FCCAU 120.1), Ram Alia (FCCAU 120.2), and Bethlahem (FCCAU 120.3). OCCURRENCE: Only a few records of this species are known. It has been isolated from soil in Germany (Schultz, 1950), Canada (Vaiirtaja, 1968), England (Ali, 1982) and the West Bank of Jordan (Ali, 1985) and from diseased plants in Germany (Schultz, 1950) and the USA (Middleton, 1943; Horsefall & Kertesz, 1933). In this work the species was infrequently isolated from diseased roots, seldom isolated from soil (found in 21% of the soils sampled), and was also infrequent in stream water. <strong>PYTHIUM</strong> SPINOSUM Sawda apud Sawda & Chen, Trans. nat. Hist. Soc. Formosa 16:199 (1926). Figs 104-106. COLONY MORPHOLOGY: Colonies on CMA showing a diffuse pattern with some aerial mycelium. MYCELIUM: Main hyphae 2.5-6(av. 4.4),um wide. SPORANGIA and zoospores not produced. HYPHAL SWELLINGS: Inercalary and terminal, globose and subglobose 13-35(av. 19.3).um diam; usually germinating by 1-3 germ tubes. OOGONIA: Terminal or occasionally intercalary, globose, 14-20(av. l7.1 ± 0.5- 95% c.l.j urn diam, echinulate, spines blunt digitate, 2-17(av. 10.0).um long. AN<strong>THE</strong>RIDIA: 1(-3)1 oogonium, mostly monocJinous, occasionally dicJinous. OOSPORES: Plerotic (oospore vol I oogonium v::Q.7S),14-18(av. IS.S± 0.S-9S% c.I.).um diam, wall O.S-I (av. 0.9± 0.1 -95% C.I.) .urn thick, ooplast 6-9 (av. 8.1).um diam. TEMPERATURE- GROWTH RELATIONSHIPS: Minimum S·C, optimum 2S'C, maximum 3SoC. Daily growth rate on CMA at 2SC 20.5mm. MATERIAL EXAMINED: ex soil, Nablus(FCCAU 147.1),' and Gaza (FCCAU 147.2;FCCAU 147.3). OCCURRENCE: Rarely isolated from irrigated fields (found in 14% of the soils sampled). 54
