Abstract
A new cytochemical staining technique using permanganate was tested on cells of Calcarisporium parasiticum, Sphaeropsis malorum, Alternaria tenuis, Fusarium oxysporum f. conglutinans and Gliocladium roseum. Fungal walls were seen in greater detail, especially those which normally did not stain well with uranyl acetate-lead citrate procedures.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
