In one isolate, aerial hyphae sometimes developed external bands, or 'blisters,' of electron-dense material deposited in discrete regions along the length of the hyphae. The function of these modified aerial hyphae is probably different from that of resting mycelium and might represent an early stage in the formation of some hitherto undescribed structure.Read More
