First record of Badhamia polycephala (Physaraceae, Physarales) on bacterial films in a sewage pipe

We report the first observation of the plasmodium of Badhamia polycephala on bacterial films from a kitchen sink trap. After placing fragments of bacterial films with the plasmodium present into a moist chamber, we obtained fully matured sporocarps. We confirmed the species identification using light and scanning electron microscopy.

Abstract

We report the first observation of the plasmodium of Badhamia polycephala on bacterial films from a kitchen sink trap. After placing fragments of bacterial films with the plasmodium present into a moist chamber, we obtained fully matured sporocarps. We confirmed the species identification using light and scanning electron microscopy.
