Stimulation of Spore Discharge in Sordaria by Carbon Dioxide
Birhbeck College London
The effect on the rate of spore discharge in Sordaria fimicola of small concentrations of carbon dioxide has been studied. Substitution of an air-stream containing 0.2-2.5 per cent carbon dioxide for air freed from this gas circulating over the perithecia always led to a marked increase in the rate of spore discharge.
