estimation of the spawns infestation <strong>de</strong>gree, with marks from 0 to 4, at 48, 96 and 144 hours.<br />

The data interpretation was ma<strong>de</strong> by estimating the medium score of all the samples from<br />

the same thermal gradient, the differences being percentual expressed.<br />

The marks used have the following significations:<br />

0 – uninfested<br />

1 – very weak infested<br />

2 – weak infested<br />

3 – medium infested<br />

4 –strong infested<br />

I.3.3. Culture media used<br />

The scientific literature un<strong>de</strong>rlines the fact that, generally, in the fungi cultures<br />

<strong>de</strong>velopment could be used either solid media, or liquid ones. Liquid media allow the<br />

<strong>de</strong>velopment of fungal mycelium in a large quantity, that could be used in techniques for<br />

DNA extraction (Dieguez-Uribeondo and al., 2007; Fernan<strong>de</strong>z-Benitez and al., 2008).<br />

In this research we utilized comparatively 2 solid media: Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA)<br />

and Sabouraud 2% Glucose Agar (SGA), and 2 liquid media: Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB)<br />

and Sabouraud Dextrose Broth (SDB).<br />

The spawns were sterile collected in Petri dishes and washed with distilled water<br />

containing 100 mg L -1 Penicillin G potassium salt. Then, were inoculated in two solid<br />

media: Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) and Sabouraud 2% Glucose Agar (SGA), and for<br />

preventing the bacterial growing, we ad<strong>de</strong>d the same antibiotic, in the recommen<strong>de</strong>d<br />

concentration. The colonies were preserved then on PDA and SGA media, in the incubator<br />

for 3 days, at the mentioned temperatures (10, 15 and 22°C). In this period we observed<br />

Saprolegnia colonies growing speed and their diameter (adapted after Fernan<strong>de</strong>z-Benitez<br />

and al., 2008). The original contribution consisted in the fact that we used two comparative<br />

solid culture media and three temperature gradients for each medium.<br />
