At pH 5.8, highly branched (colonial) mutants appear in glucose-limited chemostat cultures of Fusarium graminearum A3/5 after ca. 400 h (ca. 107 generations) of growth. The appearance of these mutants was delayed by u p to 144 h (45 generations) when the culture was switched at intervals of 120 h be
