Growth of Mr2575 and Ma549 on potato dextrose agar (IMAGE)
Caption
Two strains of fungi (Ma549 and Mr2575) were grown together in a lab dish containing potato dextrose agar and specially modified to glow in different colors (red and green, respectively). This image depicts their colonization of the dish over a period of five days. Both fungal colonies grow to touch each other, but their method of growth differs. While Ma459 produces seed-like spores, Mr2575 extends thread-like structures called hyphae.
