The germination of a microsporidian polar tube generally occurs under alkaline conditions. Typically, microsporidian spores can be stored in physiological salt solution for short periods. However, because of differences in the lodging area, the requirements may not always be uniform. In fact, sp. OSL-2012-10 () germinated when preserved in physiological salt solution. In this study, the germination characteristics of the large-spore microsporidia sp. FOA-2014-10 and sp. YGSL-2015-13 were compared with those of sp. OSL-2012-10; moreover, we investigated whether these characteristics are specific to these microsporidia. We found that both microsporidia germinated in physiological salt solution. These differences in germination rates were affected by the preservation solution and temperature.
微孢子虫极管的萌发通常在碱性条件下发生。通常,微孢子虫孢子可在生理盐溶液中短期保存。然而,由于寄存区域的差异,要求可能并不总是一致的。事实上,OSL-2012-10菌()保存在生理盐溶液中时会萌发。在本研究中,将大孢子微孢子虫FOA-2014-10菌和YGSL-2015-13菌的萌发特性与OSL-2012-10菌进行了比较;此外,我们还研究了这些特性是否为这些微孢子虫所特有。我们发现这两种微孢子虫在生理盐溶液中均能萌发。萌发率的这些差异受保存溶液和温度的影响。
