The nucleus divides in three and forms two septa. The three-celled sprout mycelium cuts off at its septa further sprout cells which again become three-celled, etc. In older cultures, copulation takes place (Fig. 398, 5 and 6) either by copulation tubes or between different sprouts or by partial and temporary solution of the wall between two cells of the same sprout. The binucleate cells develop to slender hyphae (Paravicini, 1917). In U. longissima the germ tube develops to a multicellular, uninucleate mycelium which is easily broken up and proceeds to sprouting. The sprouts are again.
