The growth characteristics of Paecilomyces tenuipes according to the passage in the two kind of liquid media were investigated by comparing the mycelium and conidium formation degrees. The potato dextrose broth medium and the silkworm larvae medium containing the silkworm powder were used as the liquid media, and the potato dextrose agar medium and the brown rice medium containing the powder of silkworm pupa were used as the solid media. The conidium formation degree in liquid media differed by the passages but that in solid media was not. This suggested that the passage in liquid media did not affect significantly the conidium formation in solid media. When the brown rice media were inoculated with the concentration of 1×10¹⁰ conidia/㎖, 1×10⁸ conidia/㎖ and 1×10⁶ conidia/㎖, respectively, the conidium formation degrees were similar. This indicated that the optimal inoculation concentration of conidium to the brown rice media is 1×10⁶ conidia/㎖.
