Use of impedance for preservative efficacy testing
Morphology Colonies initially white or yellowish, mycelium growing rapidly (to cover plate in 5 to 10 days), soon producing dense layer of erect smooth-stiped, thick-walled conidiophores terminated by globose vesicles bearing phialides (uniseriate) or (commonly) metulae with phialides (biseriate) which produce dry chains of conidia. Revers of plate pale to grayish or greenish yellow, often showing radiating ridges in mycelium. Spore heads radiate, sometimes dividing into columns with age, initially pale, becoming dark brown to black. Individual conidia spherical, mid-to-dark brown, highly roughened with ridges and blunt or pointed protuberances, (3-)4-5(-6) micrometers in diameter.
