Dear Joy,


Some 20 years ago Jose Maria Mato moved from Leiden to Madrid, working 
with Dicty NC4. Since Madrid is so much warmer than Leiden, and there 
was no good air conditioning and temperature control, he selected for 
clones that grew better at higher temperature. He slowly increased the 
temperature over a few weeks. Finally, he got them growing well at 27 
degrees celcius, but as far as I recall not at higher temperatures. So 
I guess that's about the max Dicty may tollerate for efficient growth.


Best,
Peter van Haastert
