The germination of spores of microorganisms has been studied in detail with reference to bacterial spores (HALvo~so~ and CgvRcI~ 1957). I n f o r m a t i o n regarding the germination of mold spores is, however, incomplete. U n d e r certain conditions, the germination of mold spores is k n o w n to
A hypothesis for the mechanism of microsporidian spore germination is presented which is consistent with the experimental evidence available. Based upon concentrations of the disaccharide, trehalose, in germinated and ungerminated spores, stimulation by anions and cations and the high osmotic pressu
