Popis: Two mutants with different conidiogenesis were isolated from wild phatotypes of Hirsutella thompsonii var. thompsonii collected from the citrus rust mite in Florida. One mutant ( WSI ) produces more typical single-neck phialides and conidia than the wild type. The other mutant ( SS ) was developmentally altered in producing condiogenous cells earlier than the wild type as well as phialides with multiple neck capable of conidiogenesis. The mutant ( SS ) appeared more virulent than mutant ( WSI ) and the wild type when bioassayed using the citrus rust mite as a host.
