Abstract
This chapter describes the use of a specific image analysis method with the plug im! software for the characterization of filamentous fungus morphology. It details an application of this method with samples obtained from a fermentation process of a Trichoderma reesei strain. This fully automated and accurate image analysis method provides quantitative and representative data for morphological and topological analyses.
