Аннотация:The fungal mycelium loses its viability in fragmentation. Minimal viability of the fragment, designated as ''the critical fragment size'' (CFS), differed in microfungal species with dissimilar structure of the mycelium. The CFS was highest (140 mu m) in the cenocytic mycelium of the Mucor hiemalis species, and lowest in the melanin-containing septate mycelium of the species Alternaria alternata (20 mu m) and the light-colored septate mycelium of Penicillium spinulosum (30 mu m). It was illustrated by the example of A. alternata that CFS is associated with the septation of the mycelium and that the closer are the septa in the hypha, the higher is the viability of the mycelial fragment. The minimum capacity for growth was observed in a fragment containing three cells. The method by which the soil had been prepared for analysis was important for maintaining the viability of the mycelial fragments.
