Sodium polypectate (SPP) was added to an ethanol-streptomycin
agar (ESA) medium to determine if it would provide a selective
substrate for the growth of Verticillium dahliae and for isolation of
the fungus from soil and plant tissues in the presence of saprophytic
fungi. Sodium polypectate improved greatly the formation and...
