[Growth and sporulation of Entomophthora virulenta Hall and Dunn in discontinuous liquid culture].
Fermented cultures of Entomophthora virulenta showed an exponential phase with a specific growth rate of 0,14 h-1. The deceleration phase was 4 times longer than the exponential phase. Sexual sporulation occurred at the end of the deceleration phase. A technique of medium replacement demonstrated that any lack of nutritive balance induced the sporulation.
