Microcycle Sporulation in Fungi

The process of microcycle sporulation is also known in fungi and sometimes conidia of aspergilli on germination are known to enter microcycle sporogenesis. However, unlike in bacteria, microcycle sporulation involves greater synthesis and cellular alterations to yield a conidiophore and other structures. The sporulating structures are much smaller in size than the normal structure

Sporulation and spore germination therefore, represent both the beginning and end of morphogenesis, both in fungi and bacteria. Such changes occur due to minor shifts in environmental conditions.
