In the present paper low concentrations (l -10 mcg/ml) of DNOC, in general, were not found to restrain germination of fungal spores. High concentrations (25-200 mcg/ml) were sporostatic and sporocidal Disturbances of fungal spore germination in the presence of DNOC were often accompanied by morphological changes of spores and germ tubes, Mucor mucedo under the influence of DNOC developed budding cels besides hyphae
