Fig. 32. Plate cultures of Fusarium moniliforme Sheld.<br />
showing colony growths on PDA, PSA, and oatmeal agar<br />
(OA) incubated at ART, 21 °C, and 28 °C at 15 d after<br />
inoculation.<br />
plate is zonated and white to dark purple. At 28 °C<br />
under alternating 12-h fluorescent light and 12-h<br />
darkness, colonies grow moderately fast and attain a<br />
5.73-cm diam in 5 d. They are slightly zonated, floccose<br />
with even margins, and white with light purplish<br />
coloration at the center. The colony on the reverse<br />
side of the agar plate appears slightly zonated and<br />
dark purple and lighter outward.<br />
