As shown earlier [1], the dissipative
structure formation in the colonies of imperfect microfungi depends on
the culture – produced exogenous inhibitors of growth. The paper presents
a model and experimental procedure which are used to estimate one of the
most important control parameters [2] defining the colony structure, namely,
the diffusion coefficient of liquid metabolites. An explanation is provided
for the increased nonlinear phenomena accompanying mycelium fungus colony
formation at low temperatures.
