  2. Cryptococcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptococcus

    All teleomorph forms appear to be parasites of other fungi. In teleomorphs the hyphae are colourless, are clamped or unclamped, and bear haustorial cells with filaments that attach to the hyphae of host fungi. [7] [8] The basidia are club-shaped and highly elongated. Spores arise in succession from four loci at the apex (which is sometimes ...

  3. Hypha - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypha

    They have few septa and lack clamp connections. Fusiform skeletal hyphae are the second form of skeletal hyphae. Unlike typical skeletal hyphae these are swollen centrally and often exceedingly broad, hence giving the hypha a fusiform shape. Binding hyphae are thick-walled and frequent branched. Often they resemble deer antlers or defoliated ...

  4. Basidiomycota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basidiomycota

    The genus Filobasidiella forms basidia on hyphae but the main infectious stage is more commonly known by the anamorphic yeast name Cryptococcus, e.g. Cryptococcus neoformans [19] and Cryptococcus gattii. [18] The dimorphic Basidiomycota with yeast stages and the pleiomorphic rusts are examples of fungi with anamorphs, which are the asexual ...

  5. Blastoconidium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastoconidium

    A blastoconidium (plural blastoconidia) is an asexual holoblastic conidia formed through the blowing out or budding process of a yeast cell, which is a type of asexual reproduction that results in a bud arising from a parent cell. [1] [2] The production of a blastoconidium can occur along a true hyphae, pseudohyphae, or a singular yeast cell. [3]

    The dying yeast cells are then heated to complete their breakdown, after which the husks (yeast with thick cell walls that would give poor texture) are removed. Yeast autolysates are used in Vegemite and Promite (Australia); Marmite (the United Kingdom); the unrelated Marmite (New Zealand); Vitam-R (Germany); and Cenovis (Switzerland).

  7. Dimorphic fungus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimorphic_fungus

    Candida albicans growing as yeast cells and filamentous (hypha) cells. A dimorphic fungus is a fungus that can exist in the form of both mold [1] and yeast.As this is usually brought about by a change in temperature, this fungus type is also described as a thermally dimorphic fungus. [2]

  8. Malassezia furfur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malassezia_furfur

    Malassezia furfur is a fungus that lives on the superficial layers of the dermis.It generally exists as a commensal organism forming a natural part of the human skin microbiota, but it can gain pathogenic capabilities when morphing from a yeast to a hyphal form during its life cycle, through unknown molecular changes. [2]

  9. Sporobolomyces salmonicolor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporobolomyces_salmonicolor

    Meiosis was occurring within the teliospore, followed by germination of the teliospore and beginning of the haploid yeast state. [8] Sporobolomyces salmonicolor is a heterothallic species; two mating types are known. [6] Induction of the sexual stage begins with anastomosis of compatible yeast cells to form dikaryotic hyphae with clamp connections.
