Switching from a Unicellular to Multicellular Organization in an <named-content content-type="genus-species">Aspergillus niger</named-content> Hypha

ABSTRACT Pores in fungal septa enable cytoplasmic streaming between hyphae and their compartments. Consequently, the mycelium can be considered unicellular. However, we show here that Woronin bodies close ~50% of the three most apical septa of growing hyphae of Aspergillus niger. The incidence of cl...
