Abstract		Although Curvularia lunata is classified as a conidial anamorph of Cochliobolus lunatus, the electron microscopic studies revealed the ultrastructure of both strains to be significantly different. C. lunatus m118 grows in the hyphal form characterized by a thick cell wall and numerouos lipid bodies. C lunata forms thinner hyphae of various sizes and large oval spores. Electrophoretic karyotypes of C. lunatus m118 (this paper) and C. lunata AT46 (Osiewacz, H. and Ridder, R. (1991) Curr. Genet. 20, 151-155) as well as RAPD-PCR analysis with the primer (GTG)5 indicate slose genetic relationship of both microorganisms.
