Cells of the food spoilage yeast Zygosaccharomyces bailii . The bright field image was taken at 100x magnification, using the epifluorescence microscope Zeiss Axiovert 135 TV. The cells were suspended in a Sabouraud medium at room temperature Scientific classification; Domain: Eukaryota: Kingdom: Fungi: Division: Ascomycota: Class ...
Their direct examination under a light microscope enables the classification of these bacteria (and archaea). Generally, the basic morphologies are spheres (coccus) and round-ended cylinders or rod shaped (bacillus).
Under the microscope, the India ink stain is used for easy visualization of the capsule in cerebral spinal fluid. [10] The particles of ink pigment do not enter the capsule that surrounds the spherical yeast cell, resulting in a zone of clearance or "halo" around the cells. This allows for quick and easy identification of C. neoformans.
Candida albicans is an opportunistic pathogenic yeast [5] that is a common member of the human gut flora.It can also survive outside the human body. [6] [7] It is detected in the gastrointestinal tract and mouth in 40–60% of healthy adults.
Saccharomyces is a genus of fungi that includes many species of yeasts. Saccharomyces is from Greek σάκχαρον (sugar) and μύκης (fungus) and means sugar fungus.Many members of this genus are considered very important in food production where they are known as brewer's yeast, baker's yeast and sourdough starter among others.
The microbes used can be bacteria, yeast, fungi, or less commonly, protists. The microbes can be chosen for their natural colours or engineered to express fluorescent proteins and viewed under ultraviolet light to make them fluoresce in colour.
Colonial morphology serves as the first step in the identification of microbial species from clinical samples. [10] Based on the visual appearance of the colonies, microbiologists can narrow down the list of possible organisms, allowing them to select appropriate tests to provide a definitive diagnosis.
