Zusammenfassung:Microsporeans have not been cultured or maintained extracellulary for more than short periods. Weidner and Findley developed a simple protocol for isolating pure populations of discharged sporoplasms and developed a procedure for maintaining pure populations of extruded microsporean sporoplasms in culture for 24 hours for further biochemical investigations.
