(bread mould) that produces conidial anastomosis tubes from conidia and conidial germ tubes during germination. Other Colletotrichum species produce conidial anastomosis tubes as well. The initial characterization of CATs was made in this plant pathogen in 2003 by Roca et al. in Brazil.
Conidial anastomosis tubes
Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, produces conidial anastomosis tubesConidial anastomosis tubes
Conidial anastomosis tubes are cells formed from the conidia of many filamentous fungi. These cells have a tubular shape and form an anastomosis that allows fusion between conidia....
