In fact dimitic fungi almost always contain generative and skeletal hyphae; there is one exceptional genus, Laetiporus that includes only generative and binding hyphae. Skeletal and binding hyphae give leathery and woody fungi such as polypores their tough consistency. If a fungus contains all three types (example: Trametes), it is called trimitic.
A single-celled, non-septate cell in mitosporic fungi; compare with dictyospore and phragmospore. [15] anamorph. Imperfect state. An asexual state of a fungus, characterized by the presence of conidia and the absence of sexual spore s. [16] anastomosis Fusion between branches of hyphae to make a network. [17] annellidic
Most ascomycetes are filamentous fungi that produce septate hyphae and have characteristics sexual phase in which they produce sexual spores called ascospores. [1] Most entomopathogenic fungi in the Phylum Ascomycota infect and proliferate in the insect body in a parasitic phase before eventually killing the host.
Curvularia lunata appears as shiny velvety-black, fluffy growth (on the fungus colony surface). These fluffy 'hairs', which really are branching, fine filamentous structures called hyphae, are divided inside by cell walls named septae (-> the hyphae are 'septate').
Fungal culture medium can be used for positive identification of the species. The fungi tend to grow well at 25 degrees Celsius on Sabouraud agar within a few days to a few weeks. [8] In the culture, characteristic septate hyphae can be seen interspersed among the epithelial cells, and the conidia may form either on the hyphae or on ...
The hyphae of Cladosporium sphaerospermum are thick walled, septate, and olivaceous-brown in colour. [5] Colonies of the fungus are velvety in texture and flattened (i.e., rarely raised, fluffy, or radially furrowed). C. sphaerospermum conidiophores are branched, septate, and dark, up to 150–300 μm long and 3.5–4.0 μm wide. [5]
It consists of branched, septate (segmented) hyphae that are pale brown and smooth-walled, measuring 1–2 micrometres (μm) in thickness. [2] The conidiophores, which are the structures that bear spores, are macronematous (having well-developed stalks) and mononematous (single or unbranched). They can appear singly or in groups, and are ...
The hyphal system is monomitic, with simple-septate generative hyphae; single or multiple clamps may be present in the subiculum. The basidia (spore-bearing cells) are club-shaped and smooth. Spores of the genus are thin-walled, inamyloid , hyaline , and have a cylindrical to ellipsoidal shape.
