  • Title: The fine structure of conidial development in the genus Torula. IV. T. thermophila Cooney & Emerson.
    Author: Ellis DH, Griffiths DA.
    Journal: Can J Microbiol; 1976 Aug; 22(8):1102-12. PubMed ID: 963623.
    Abstract:
    Torula thermophila produced typical chlamydospores either as intercalary chains within prostrate hyphae or as terminal swellings on short, lateral, hyphal branches. Mature chlamydo-spores were spherical, dark brown, smooth-surfaced structured structures with thick, single-layed cell walls (= secondary wall layer) usually differentiated into an outer electron-dense zone and an inner electron-transparent zone. Disarticulation and sport release occurred after the disintegration of the original hyphal wall. The thallospores of T. thermophila arise in a manner different from the blastospores produced by other species of Torula and are structurally more closely related to the spores produced by Humicola insolens. However until further work has been completed on spore development in the Torula-Humicola complex of fungi the name T. thermophila is retained.
