FIGURE 6. Microscopic ultrastructure of T. hexasporodochia sp. nov. sporodochium. A. Transverse section of a single sporodochium resting upon the cuticle of the host. B. Transverse view of the bivalve flap terminations of the phialides. C. Rectangular conidia assemblage within the phialide are formed endogenously and in basipetal succession D. Fixed conidiogenous locus in which spore differentiation occurs (Cl) E. Basal region of the sporodochium in right corner of image showing initial phialidic growth, and left bottom of image shows thick haustorial layer (Hs) extending below the host cuticle (termite). F. Host cuticle (Hc) with underlaying haustoria. Scale bars: A—100 μm, B—5 μm, C—10 μm, D—50 μm, E—30 μm. Photographed by Steve Davis.
