Mycelium of Ascobolus furfuraceus Pers. p. Hook (Ascomycetes-Pezizales) was grown in liquid medium for 13 days; at this point it was fed with either 15 mg ml-1 glucose of fresh liquid medium. The kinetics of glucose uptake after re-feeding is correlated with the differentiation of globose vesicles which grew from single intercalary cells of the hyphae. These vesicles seem to be glycogen store structures as shown by the iodine reaction.
