Abstract
Summary: Zoospores of Phytophthora palmivora suspended in water aggregated within 2 min at 16°C. Individual spores in aggregates were separate and actively swimming. The optimum temperature for aggregation was 16°C. Aggregate formation depended on zoospore concentration and depth of suspension.
