Genome sequence of selected specimen

Phytophthora cambivora CBS 114087 = CPHST BL 34G = P0592 WPC

Colonies and cardinal temperatures

Colonies in V-8, PDA, and MEA with no distinctive pattern. Minimum temperature for growth is 2°C, optimum is 22–24°C, and maximum 32°C.

Asexual phase

Sporangia nonpapillate, persistent, ovoid, obpyriform, or elipsoid (55–65 µm x 40–45 µm), showing internal and often nested proliferation, oroginated on simple, unbranched sporangiophores. Hyphal swellings rarely produced and are coralloid with irregular shapes. Chlamydospores are absent.

Sexual phase

Heterothallic. Oogonia showing characteristic bullate wall projections, antheridia amphygynous showing one or 2 cells when paired with the opposite mating type. Oospores plerotic.

Most typical characters

Phytophthora cambivora is heterothallic, forming oogonia with characteristic warty, or bullate walls, and 2-celled antheridia.
