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]
Microbial food cultures are live bacteria, yeasts or moulds used in food production. Microbial food cultures carry out the fermentation process in foodstuffs. Used by humans since the Neolithic period (around 10 000 years BC) [1] fermentation helps to preserve perishable foods and to improve their nutritional and organoleptic qualities (in this case, taste, sight, smell, touch).
The life stage at which a fungus lives, grows, and develops, gathering nutrients and energy.. The fungus uses this stage to proliferate itself through asexually created mitotic spores.
C. tropicalis is virulent due to its ability to produce biofilm, secrete lytic enzymes, adhere to epithelial and endothelial cells, and undergo transition of bud to hyphae. [ 18 ] [ 11 ] [ 7 ] Biofilms are complex structures that are formed from the grouping of microorganisms on a local surface, either biotic or abiotic, [ 18 ] dependent on the ...
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.
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]
Fungi that form fusiform skeletal hyphae bound by generative hyphae are said to have sarcodimitic hyphal systems. A few fungi form fusiform skeletal hyphae, generative hyphae, and binding hyphae, and these are said to have sarcotrimitic hyphal systems. These terms were introduced as a later refinement by E. J. H. Corner in 1966. [15]
[49] [50] [51] The transition from yeast to hyphal cells is termed to be one of the key factors in the virulence of C. albicans; however, it is not deemed necessary. [52] When C. albicans cells are grown in a medium that mimics the physiological environment of a human host, they grow as filamentous cells (both true hyphae and pseudohyphae).
