Thèse two paiallel séries too show remarkable différences due 

 to the conidia, with which they were inoculated, orlglnatlng from 

 différent culture solutions. As also was the case with the homol- 

 ogous séries on 5^o glucose, we find a greater development of the 

 dry weight of the mycélium in the séries, where the conidia were 

 derived from a différent culture solution. At the same time less 

 diastase was produced and in this séries too a longer time elapsed 

 before there was a homogenous and strong development of conidia. 

 The différences are therefore analogous to those, found for the 

 cultures on glucose, but they differ in degree.

Thèse curves remind us strongly of the curve for the glucose 1% 

 séries. They both show only a small serration, which indicates 

 where there is a fall and subséquent rise takes place. 



In a third séries on 5% starch (fig. 11, table 6 C) there was a 

 rather large precipitate cf starch after the culture solutions had 

 been stenhsed. This precipitate evidently could not be assimilated 

 by the fungus, as is clearly shown i. g. by the dry weight of the 

 13 day: 116 m.Gr. Besides the mycélium did not form a con-
