There is a rapid uptake of 14 C‐glucose and unlabelled glucose during the period of pigmentation of the mycelium of Botryodiplodia theobromae Pat. Incorporation of 14 C‐glucose into structural components of the mycelium started within 24 hours of incubation and progressively increased until the 14 th day of growth. The mycelium contains glucose, isomaltose, and sucrose. There is a decrease in these carbohydrates during autolysis. Autolysis in B. theobromae occurs in an acid medium of pH 5.2.
