Abstract :
A new method is described for the culture of fungi in static conditions. This system uses microscale structures (e.g. microchannels) as enclosed culture chambers for fungi. Devices are constructed with channels of variable scale to form three dimensional culture containment vessels capable of orientation in any plane. Preliminary results of morphological identification are presented.
