콩의 흑색뿌리썩음병을 일으키는 Cylindrocladium crotalariae은 감자한천배지와 콩의 조직을 함유한 한천 배지를 서로 다르게 Water potential를 조절하여 이 병원균을 접종한 결과 균사신장과 대형분생포자형성은 -14bars에서 좋았고 $30^{circ}C$에서는 -100bars $25^{circ}C$에서는 -80bars $20^{circ}C$에서는 -64bars에서 균사신장이 중지되었으며 포자형성도 -64bars에서 중지되었다. 자낭각과 미소균핵형성은 소금을 첨가하지 않은 -1.4나 -3.0bars에서 잘 되었고 이 균에 대한 포자발아율은 -1.4bars에서 -20bars의 모든 Water potential에서 똑 같이 좋았고 -20bars에서 Water potential이 낮아지므로 발아율이 떨어지다가 -60bars에서 억제되었다.
Mycelial growth and production of macroconidia by Cylindrocladium crotalariae on either PDA or water agar containing soybean leaf pieces adjusted to different water potentials with KCI. were consistently maximal at -14bars. Mycelial growth by this fungus was nii at about -100 bars and below at 30C, -80 bars and below at 25C and -64 bars and below at 20C. Sporulation was prevented at -64 bars and below at $20^{circ}C;and;25^{circ}C$. Perithecial andmicrosclerotial formation was maximal at abot -1.4 to - 3.0 bars (the basal medium without sait). Percentage of spore germination for this fungus was uniformly maximal at all water potentials between -1.4 bars (the highest tested) and - 20 bars, was progressively less as the water potential lowered below -20 bars, and was prevented at - 60 bars.
