Spores of Glomus dimorphicum were examined for parasitism. Light and scanning electron microscopy revealed perforations, approximately 0.25 to 1.0 µm in diameter, in the spore wall. The presence of papillae, a dynamic host response, suggested that the parasitism occurred while the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus was still alive. No filamentous structures were detected in the spores; however, cysts of amoeba-like organisms were found in the spores and were also observed on agar plates on which surface-sterilized spores of G. dimorphicum containing such organisms were placed. It is postulated that an amoeba-like organism was the parasite, since the perforations on the spore wall were minute and no bacteria or fungi were seen inside the spores.
