Reproduction of Leptosphaerulina briosiana was studied on modified Richard's medium supplemented with seven carbon compounds, six amino acids, five inorganic nitrogen compounds or with urea. The fungus grew on each of the media, but it did not reproduce on all. Ascostromata formed on each of the carbon sources, but the formation of asci and ascospores and the ejection of ascospores varied with the carbon source and the isolate of the fungus. Ascostromata formed on all the nitrogen sources except arginine and ammonium sulfate. Formation of asci and ascospores and ejection of the ascospores varied with the nitrogen source and the isolate of the fungus. The fungus grew and produced ascostromata on Richard's medium supplemented with each of six vitamins, but asci and ascospores were not formed.
