Spores of Acaulospora morrowiae

Spore Shape: The spores are mostly globose, subglobose and occasionally irregular.

Spore Color: The color of the mature spores varies from subhyaline to pale yellow brown.

Average diameter: 70 to 140 μm

Spore after reaction with Melzer's Reagent

Spore wall composed of two layers (SWL1 and SWL2:

SWL1: it is the outermost layer and deteriorates slowly with the age. It is hyaline and smooth.

SWL2: Next to SWL1 is SWL2 which is laminated.

Two Germinal Wall Layers:

Both layers are flexible and hyaline (GWL1 and GWL2).

GWL1 sometimes disguised if it does not separate cleanly from the spore wall, whereas

GWL2 is always separated and can be easily identified.
