Microelectrophoretic analysis of conidia of lactose grown cultures of Acremonium diospyri revealed a predominantly amino carboxyl surface, possibly associated with polyphosphate. Glucosegrown conidia possessed a much lower overall charge density. These observations are discussed in relation to the general cultural behaviour of A. diospyri in the presence of these different carbon sources.
