SUMMARYThe submerged thallospore of Aspergillus terreus is described for the first time in A. fiavipes, A. niveus, and A. carneus. The spore, more accurately termed aleuriospore, has several unique features and occurs in clusters which set it apart from the aleuriospores of other groups of fungi. A detailed morphology of the aleuriospore was obtained and a (NH4)2SO4-glucose medium was devised for the differential production of aleuriospores from aspergillate heads and conidia in submerged culture. It is suggested that the aleuriospore provides strong taxonomic evidence of a relationship between the 4 species.
