Abstract

Filamentous microorganisms of improved properties, for example growth rate, may be obtained by culturing a sample of desired morphology until a substantial proportion of the culture diverges from that morphology, selecting an organism from the culture at that stage which exhibits the desired morphology and repeating the process with the selected microorganism. Furthermore, an isolated Fusarium graminearum having all of the characteristics of IMI 366464 and also possessing a greater morphological stability and growth rate than Fusarium graminearium strain IMI 145,425 is disclosed.
