Im working with in vitro cultures of Alternaria, however this doesn´t respond to the variations that I have treated in the media following different methodologies to induce sporulation found in the reported literature

Hi Jose, one thing you can try, and it always works for me is to grow the fungus on the same host of substrate that you isolate the fungus from. I should sporulate on it.

Good luck
