| Spores of Acaulospora kentinensis | |
|
Spore Shape: The spores are globose to subglobose; sometimes ovoid in shape. Spore Color: The spores are pale yellow or sub-hyaline to yellow in color. Average diameter: (136.92)-170.57-(213.15) µm.

Spore after reaction with Melzer’s Reagent
|
SPORE WALL: The spores have two layers (L1 and L2) L1 (Evanascent): It is hyaline and is continuous with the wall of the saccule neck. This layer is present only on the spores which are attached with the saccules and gets sloughed off on detachment or collapse of the saccules. L2 (Laminated): It is subhyaline to yellow in color. This inner layer is rigid and ornamented with pits; pits circular to sub-circular. On maturity, when the saccule neck detaches from the spore, it leaves a scar on the spore surface which is termed Cicatrix and appears like a ridge. GERMINAL WALLS: It consists of two flexible hyaline inner walls (gw1 and gw2). These walls are observed only when the spores are broken. gw1: It is composed of two layers which are tightly adherent. gw2: It consists of two layers. It stains red in Melzer’s reagent. |
