Traditional identification of hyphomycetes was primarily based on microscopic morphology including: conidial morphology, especially septation, shape, size, colour and cell wall texture, the arrangement of conidia as they are borne on the conidiogenous cells (e.g. if they are solitary, in chains, or produced in slime), the type of conidiogenous cell (e.g. non-specialized or hypha-like, phialide ...
A commensal fungus, it can be found within the microflora of healthy mammals such as humans, cats and dogs, [4] [5] However, it is capable of acting as an opportunistic pathogen under special circumstances and has been seen to cause skin and ear infections, most often occurring in canines. [6] [7]
Phaeohyphomycosis is a diverse group of fungal infections, [6] caused by dematiaceous fungi whose morphologic characteristics in tissue include hyphae, yeast-like cells, or a combination of these. [7] It can be associated with an array of melanistic filamentous fungi including Alternaria species, [8] Exophiala jeanselmei, [9] and Rhinocladiella ...
Part of the CAT fusion (cell fusion) have been shown to be a coordinated behaviour. [1] The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa (a bread mould and fungal model organism) produces CATs from conidia and conidial germ tubes. In contrast, the fungal plant pathogen, Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, only produces CATs from conidia and not from germ tubes.
A printable chart to make a spore print and start identification. The spore print is the powdery deposit obtained by allowing spores of a fungal fruit body to fall onto a surface underneath. It is an important diagnostic character in most handbooks for identifying mushrooms. It shows the colour of the mushroom spores if viewed en masse.
Microsporum gallinae is a cosmopolitan zoophilic fungi that very rarely affects humans. [10] It obtains nutrients from keratin-rich skin, nails and hair, releasing enzymes during its digestion that elicit a host immune response as seen in ringworm. [11] [12] Microsporum gallinae infection is diagnosed by culturing the scrapings from skin ...
Fungal DNA barcoding is the process of identifying species of the biological kingdom Fungi through the amplification and sequencing of specific DNA sequences and their comparison with sequences deposited in a DNA barcode database such as the ISHAM reference database, [1] or the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD).
Epicoccum nigrum (1825) is a fungus with no known teleomorph form. [1] It has been classified as a member of the Hyphomycetes, [2] in the Deuteromycota, as well as the Fungi Imperfecti because it is only known to reproduce asexually. Despite that it is not yeast-like, it has been included in the broad, unrelated category of fungi known as black ...
