RESUMO
Criteria for morphogenetic and ultrastructural distinction between conidia and chlamydospores of a submerged culture of Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul. are described. Both the hyphae of the sphacelia (asexual) stage and the conidia contained granular cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic invaginations in vacuoles were transformed to electron-opaque bodies and disintegrated prior to germination. The budding of conidia had basipetal succession. The chlamydospores were formed by rounding up the terminal cells of filamentous hyphae. Homogeneous nonvacuolized cytoplasm with lipid droplets and lipid-forming bodies was characteristic of young chlamydospores. Cristate mitochondria did not appear in the chlamydospores before the alkaloid production phase. Simultaneously a specific organelle in the chlamydospores, a dense body, appeared to absorb intracellular lipids and form large deposits of phospholipid material. No germination of chlamydospores was observed. The ultrastructural pattern described for chlamydospores was also observed in hyphae with reduced proliferation during the alkaloid production phase.
